Popular analyst Hasu says that “in many respects we are in uncharted waters after the previous maximum.” Global investment firms, such as Guggenheim, do not go on TV with a target price of $400 000, to sell Bitcoin at $22,000, he noted.

In many ways, we‘re in uncharted waters past the previous ATH. The Guggenheims of the world don‘t go on TV with a 400k price target to sell at 22k. From now on, you‘re getting paid to sit on your hands. Go pick up a new videogame or TV epic. https://t.co/5tpDGOj2Ka
