The post JPMorgan’s $4.7T private blockchain warning just gave Bitcoin bulls fresh ammunition appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
JPMorgan sees Wall Street’s shift toward private blockchains as a deeper threat to Bitcoin than Strategy selling its BTC. JPMorgan warned that shifting tokenization, payments, and settlement onto closed networks could drain activity, liquidity, and capital from crypto while pushing valuations lower. Hybrid public-private systems, tighter stablecoin rules, and Bitcoin’s staying power as digital gold could still upset that outlook. Swift said 17 banks across six continents, including Citi, HSBC, Standard Chartered, UBS, Wells Fargo, and Itaú Unibanco, will begin testing live tokenized deposit payments on its new blockchain ledger, opening the door to round-the-clock transfers. DTCC said on May 4 that over 50 firms, among them BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, and NYSE, joined its tokenization working group, with limited production trades plann

Standard Chartered maintained its end-2026 Bitcoin price forecast of $100,000 in a note to investors on Friday, arguing that the recent weakness reflects a failure by Strategy to explain a strategic shift rather than any deterioration in the company’s balance sheet. Geoffrey Kendrick, the bank’s global head of digital assets research, wrote that Strategy — the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 843,775 coins, more than 4% of the 21 million that will ever exist — “appears to be pivoting from its ‘never sell Bitcoin’ mantra to a more complex approach.” Clear communication of that pivot, he wrote, will determine how fast the pressure on BTC lifts. Between 2020 and mid-2025, Strategy’s mNAV — enterprise value divided by the value of its Bitcoin — traded above 1.0. That premium lets the company issue shares, buy Bitcoin, and grow its value by more than the value of the new stock

The post Bitcoin rally ending? $64K rejection and pullback, or $66K still viable? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Bitcoin price has reached the $64K horizontal resistance. Is this the best place for a pullback, or will the bulls be able to push on through and drive the price up to the key $66K level? One last push to $66K? Source: TradingView We can observe in the short-term time frame that the $BTC price has come up against strong resistance at the $64K horizontal level. Looking left, only recently the price was expelled from this resistance to fall back down to the bull market trendline. Will the bulls be able to expend one last effort to push through and make a higher high? If the rally continues, more buyers are likely going to jump onto the positive hype and contribute to keeping it going. That said, if this current resistance is overtaken, $66K awaits above, which is hugely significant in the grand scheme of things for Bitcoin. Would the bulls have enough to successfully
