$BTC's Muted Year-End Price Rally May Prevent Q1 Crash, Says Anthony Pompliano
#Bitcoin's absence of an explosive year-end price rally could prevent a significant crash in the first quarter of 2026, according to Bitcoin entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano. The compressed volatility may disappoint short-term holders but provides downside protection against massive drawdowns.
Pompliano said during a CNBC interview Tuesday it would be surprising for
$BTC to experience a 70% or 80% drawdown given current volatility levels. He noted that Bitcoin's volatility has drastically compressed, which typically reduces the likelihood of extreme price swings in either direction.
Short-term disappointment over #Bitcoin not reaching $250,000 this year overlooks broader performance metrics, Pompliano argued. He pointed out that
$BTC is up 100% over two years and nearly 300% over three years, demonstrating consistent compounding growth.
