Anthony Pompliano<\/strong> on Tuesday said Bitcoin\u2019s<\/strong> (CRYPTO: <\/a>BTC<\/a>) volatility compression has killed dreams of a $150,000 moonshot\u2014but it also means traders won\u2019t see another 80% bloodbath either<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The $150,000 Dream Died With Volatility<\/h3>\n

Bitcoin hit $126,000 in late 2025, and bulls were calling for $150,000 or higher by year-end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s roughly what happened when BTC dropped from $126,000 to $80,000, representing about 36%.<\/p>\n

The trade-off is clear. Holders sacrifice the euphoric rallies, but they also avoid the 75-80% wipeouts that defined previous cycles.<\/p>\n
