Crypto Analyst Sells Bitcoin at $85K Amid Rally
Bitcoin surged above $85,000 on Sept. 21 after an eight-month high driven by a short squeeze and strong ETF inflows. Despite the rally, Ted Pillows, a prominent crypto analyst, sold his last Bitcoin position around that level. He cited growing FOMO (fear of missing out) among investors but clarified he wasn't predicting a peak in prices. Pillows emphasized managing risk based on market data rather than emotional decisions and noted his base case for the price to retrace toward $75,000 unless it consistently breaks above $83,000. The rally occurred despite setbacks like the failed CLARITY Act vote and a recent Federal Reserve rate hike. The move highlights mixed sentiment in the market: while some investors are optimistic about Bitcoin's trajectory, others remain cautious or profit-taking.
