On January 21st, Anthony Scaramucci—founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital—said at the Davos Economic Forum: “Despite Bitcoin’s significant drop from last year’s all-time high, its long-term outlook remains solid. This is more about timing than direction. I believe Bitcoin’s fundamentals haven’t changed; if anything, the market has seen a lot of consolidation. I hope Bitcoin returns to the $125,000 to $150,000 range. But that’s just how Bitcoin is… it goes up when it wants. I’m cautiously optimistic; this year will be fine.” In August 2025, Scaramucci noted he holds a large Bitcoin position and still targets a year-end Bitcoin price of $180,000 to $200,000.

Historically, Bitcoin’s relative RSI (Relative Strength Index) against gold has fallen into extreme oversold territory (below 30) four times: 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2025. Each instance ended with a sharp Bitcoin rebound as the divergent trend reversed. - **2015**: Amid a bear market’s end, Bitcoin’s relative RSI dipped below 30, kicking off its massive 2016–2017 bull run. - **2018**: Bitcoin plunged over 40% during a bear market while gold climbed nearly 6%. Post-RSI sub-30, Bitcoin surged over 770% from its 2020 low. - **2022**: Bitcoin fell nearly 60% in a bear market. Once RSI hit below 30, Bitcoin rebounded and outperformed gold again. - **2025**: Now at year-end, we’re seeing the fourth historic oversold signal. Gold skyrocketed 64% in 2025 and is up another 10% so far this year, while Bitcoin’s relative RSI has again entered oversold territory.
