Jim Cramer: BTC Could Hit $82K, But Don't Trust Short-Lived Rebounds
CNBC’s Mad Money host Jim Cramer said Bitcoin could climb back toward the $82,000 area even after the recent sell-off, but warned investors not to read too much into short-lived rebounds. Cramer’s $82,000 target lines up with a key resistance level flagged by Finbold, and came as BTC staged a Monday morning bounce after a sharp decline. He singled out Michael Saylor — noting that Saylor’s firm has a habit of buying Bitcoin on Mondays — but cautioned that rallies driven by those purchases aren’t a reliable signal. Cramer called anyone interpreting such moves as a “double bottom” pattern “ill-advised.” He also suggested the pullback may partly reflect short sellers trying to pressure big buyers like Saylor.

He added that he holds Bitcoin himself despite those reservations. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
