Odaily News Anthony Pompliano stated in an interview with CNBC that the lack of a crazy price surge for Bitcoin by the end of the year could serve as a catalyst to prevent a significant crash in the first quarter of next year. He pointed out that given the current drastic compression in Bitcoin's volatility, the likelihood of a 70% or 80% retracement is extremely low.
