Two of Bitcoin's loudest institutional voices are now publicly lined up against a policy-style consensus change, framing it as a fork risk and a dangerous precedent for transaction validity.
Fading downside momentum sets up a potential run to $200K-$250K, per the Real Vision chief crypto analyst, framing the rest of the cycle as a structural recovery rather than a relief bounce.
