Jim Cramer says Saylor could jam Bitcoin from sub-$80k toward $82k, warning that any rebound, short-seller games and fresh volatility show BTC is still unreliable as money.

Summary
  • Jim Cramer argued Bitcoin could spike from roughly $76,500 toward $82,000 if Michael Saylor steps in as a large buyer after checking S&P 500 futures.
  • He warned that such a move might trick traders into calling a “double bottom” while ignoring the technical damage from BTC’s sharp breakdown below key support.
  • Cramer said short sellers may be trying to “break” Saylor, emphasized Bitcoin’s volatility makes it poor money, yet disclosed he still holds BTC.

CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer stated that Bitcoin (BTC) could rally to higher levels despite the cryptocurrency’s recent decline, according to a post shared as the digital asset traded following a sharp sell-off.

Cramer’s price target of $82,000 matched the asset’s strongest current resistance level, according to Finbold. The cryptocurrency subsequently declined before staging a Monday morning rally that helped it recover some losses.

In additional commentary, Cramer referenced Michael Saylor, noting that Saylor’s company has a pattern of purchasing Bitcoin on Mondays. Cramer cautioned against relying on rallies driven by those purchases, describing those who view potential upticks as a double bottom pattern as “ill-advised folks,” according to the report.

Cramer advised followers not to disregard the break below certain levels regardless of short-term price movements and suggested the downturn might represent an attempt by short sellers to pressure Saylor, the report stated.

The CNBC host indicated that a likely short-term bottom exists at a certain level and stated that recent volatility demonstrates the cryptocurrency remains too unreliable to function as a proper currency, according to the post. Cramer disclosed he owns Bitcoin despite his criticism of the asset’s volatility.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
