The key technical level Novogratz argues that the bulls have to reclaim the $100,000-$103,000 range in order to be able to regain their momentum. For now, the leading cryptocurrency is still stuck below the $90,000 level due to prevailing risk-off sentiment. "I will reiterate that it has to take out 100-103k to regain its upward trend," Novogratz noted. A $100 million hedge fund Galaxy Digital , the financial services giant helmed by Mike Novogratz, is returning to its roots with the launch of a $100 million hedge fund. According to a report from the Financial Times, the fund is slated to launch in the first quarter of this year with capital from family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional partners. Galaxy is also providing undisclosed seed capital. Up to 30% of the fund’s assets will be invested directly in liquid cryptocurrencies, with Portfolio Manager Joe Armao specifically citing bullish long-term conviction on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). The remaining capital will target financial services stocks. This fund's "long/short" capability allows the fund to profit even if prices fall. #Bitcoin Price Prediction #Mike Novogratz
