These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Bitcoin stabilizes in value as institutional confidence like ARK Invest's bolsters the market, counteracting speculative pressures such as GameStop's actions.
If ARK Invest significantly leverages its crypto investments, Bitcoin could rebound robustly, potentially exceeding previous highs as public confidence in institutional backing grows.
If GameStop proceeds with large-scale liquidation of its Bitcoin assets, market sentiment could severely deteriorate, leading to deeper price declines.
