The recent unease in the market is predominantly due to the escalating tension between Iran and Israel, with the United States now entering the fray. Market analysts are apprehensive that this conflict could cast a shadow over global financial markets, including cryptocurrencies, possibly triggering a steeper decline. As worries of a potential World War III escalate, investors are finding solace in safer options like gold and the US dollar, while volatile assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are facing heavy sell-offs.

In the latest FOMC meeting, there was a surprising twist with interest rates remaining uncut, contrary to expectations. This pause in proceedings has stalled the market’s momentum and subdued hopes of a swift recovery. It appears that a bull market’s arrival might take a bit longer than anticipated.

Despite the current market volatility, investors are on the lookout for a bullish trigger to uplift the prevailing sentiment. There’s buzz around Bitcoin’s potential to skyrocket to $200,000 or even $250,000 by year-end. Jetking, an Indian firm that has been acquiring Bitcoin since 2022, shared with Coinpedia their prediction that Bitcoin prices might range between $140,000 and $150,000 by the end of the year.

Short-Term Bitcoin Price Action:

Bitcoin price momentarily hit ₹101,000 before making a slight recovery. However, the overall market sentiment remains pessimistic with lower volumes than Friday. Market experts are keenly observing the ₹100,000 support level — a critical point that must be maintained to evade a deeper correction.

Bitcoin is finding it tough to breach the ₹102,600 resistance zone. A possible recovery might be on the cards if Bitcoin can reclaim this level, but that hasn’t happened yet. If the price fails to maintain ₹100,000, another drop could follow, possibly accompanied by reduced trading volumes.

Jetking, which later ventured into IT education, faced a significant setback during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeing their 200 centers across the nation suffer from dwindling business. This compelled the leadership to brainstorm about 15 different strategies for rejuvenation of the company.

Ultimately, they made a bold decision: to morph into a company focusing on Bitcoin. Jetking’s CFO, Siddarth Bharwani, in a conversation with Coinpedia, revealed, “Jetking’s decision to hold Bitcoin as a treasury asset has had both symbolic and financial implications, The move sparked interest from a new class of investors, particularly younger or tech-savvy retail investors.” The company has set an ambitious goal of holding 210 Bitcoins by the end of 2025.

Despite the challenging 30% tax on crypto profits in India, Jetking has adopted a unique approach. They follow a ‘Never Sell Bitcoin’ strategy, thereby not realizing profits on its Bitcoin holdings and avoiding taxable events. Any changes in value are simply recorded as revaluation reserves in the financial reports.

Addressing the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) concerns about the possibility of crypto being utilized for illicit cross-border transfers, Jetking asserts that it prioritizes compliance. All Bitcoin purchases are made through regulated, FIU-registered exchanges and are stored with institutional-grade custodians that adhere to KYC and AML checks.

As India is in the process of formulating a formal set of crypto regulations, Jetking is hopeful of more balanced rules. The company supports governmental oversight but wishes for a transition from the flat 30% tax to a graded capital gains model based on the duration of crypto holdings.
