Morgan Creek Capital CEO Mark Yusko has said that bitcoin’s fair value is $105,000 based on Metcalfe’s Law. Speaking on Bitcoin Magazine TV on Wednesday, the investment management firm said that now was the best time to buy the leading cryptocurrency as it is “on sale.

Bitcoin fell below $76,000 after the Senate stalled the CLARITY Act. Here's why BTC fell less than XRP, Ethereum, and Solana.

Some analysts warn the four-year cycle set to complete later this year could bring another slide.

Bitcoin fell from over $126,000 in October 2025 to below $58,000 per token in July 2026. The leading cryptocurrency bottomed in July and has been climbing toward $80,000 over the past weeks.

Bitcoin remains above its 50-day, 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages. The 50-day EMA stands near $73,695, while the 200-day EMA is positioned at approximately $73,237. The 100-day EMA sits lower at $71,495.

Some crypto-related stocks were also rising Friday as U.S. stocks wavered. Bitcoin buyer Strategy ( MSTR ), until recently known as MicroStrategy, was up more than 4%. Crypto exchange Coinbase Global ( COIN) and miner Marathon Holdings ( MARA) were ahead more than 2%.

It's easy to lay out a bull-case scenario for Bitcoin, which has historically performed best in the final months of the year. As long as Bitcoin continues to push higher in the coming weeks, money will continue to pour into the spot Bitcoin ETFs, providing a nice floor under the price of Bitcoin.

Multinational bank Standard Chartered announced Thursday that it had debuted bitcoin spot trading for institutional clients in the United ‌Arab Emirates. The bank said that eligible institutional clients would be able to use the service — the first of its kind in the country.
