Despite its meteoric price rise and record highs in January, bitcoin is likely to close out 2021 at no higher than $35,000, according to cryptocurrency bulls at JPMorgan.

The investment bank’s team of analysts made headlines earlier this month with a prediction of a multi-year $146,000 price target for bitcoin, using calculations that compared it to holdings of gold as a similar risk asset.
