JPMorgan Chase: Bitcoin price is expected to reach approximately $170,000 within the next 6 to 12 months.

JPMorgan analysts believe that Bitcoin's price could rise to approximately $170,000 over the next 6 to 12 months, primarily due to adjustments in leverage levels and improved volatility relative to gold. Recently, the cryptocurrency market has corrected nearly 20% from its highs. Record-breaking liquidations occurred in the perpetual futures market on October 10th, followed by smaller liquidations on November 3rd. Furthermore, the over $120 million Balancer vulnerability exploit in the DeFi sector on the same day further eroded investor confidence and raised concerns about protocol security.
