Bitcoin started witnessing a sharp downturn late on Wednesday, causing the BTC/USD pair to fall by about 6% come Thursday morning (UTC).
The bulls have so far failed to change the status quo in their favor despite several attempts and occasional, albeit temporary, success. The importance of the $9,250 area can’t be emphasized enough right now. It has intermittently served as both support and resistance since May 14, 2020.
As BeInCrypto’s Bitcoin analysis for June 25 underlined, whichever way the BTC price swings from here depends a lot on whether or not the bulls manage to push beyond that critical area. At the time of writing, the bears seem to have gained the upper hand, barely holding on between $9,050 – $9,100.
Despite this temporary setback, however, things are not all dark and gloomy if you remain a long-term hodler. New York-based research firm Messari, recently shared an interesting take on the prospects of Bitcoin as soon as institutional investors start allocating even a tiny portion of their portfolios to the alpha-crypto.
More on that and other big stories from the day in BeInCrypto’s crypto news roundup for June 26, 2020.

Only 1% of Institutional Money Needed to Boost Bitcoin Beyond $50,000 – MessariRyan Watkins, an analyst at New York-based crypto research firm Messari noted in an optimistic note earlier this week that Bitcoin’s path to a proposed ATH of $50,000 per coin is not as far-fetched as it sounds.
According to his analysis, institutional investors need to allocate only 1% of their portfolio in Bitcoin, at which point the stage will be set for the benchmark-crypto to venture north of $50k.
Messari’s research used a ‘low percentage’ as a premise, simulating the strategy for all types of institutional funds. Watkins added that a sudden inflow of capital into assets like Bitcoin would likely cause it to surge by a factor more significant than the incoming capital.

Crypto Analysis: Cartesi(CTSI) and Ravencoin (RVN)Recent price movement of CTSI and RVN indicate that both these altcoins have broken out of their respective bullish patterns.

As for RVN, in the short-term, the price has already broken out from a descending wedge. However, it immediately decreased afterward, falling below the 220 satoshi support area. Nonetheless, the outlook continues to appear bullish as of today.
