The U.S. jury rules Musk intentionally misled company shareholders and suppressed stock price prior to Twitter acquisition
**March 21 (CNN) — A California jury mostly sided with shareholders of Twitter (now renamed X) on Friday, finding billionaire Elon Musk made false statements and intentionally depressed the social media company’s stock price ahead of his $44 billion 2022 acquisition. The jury did not, however, find Musk involved in an “overall conspiracy to defraud investors.”** **The ruling resolves a civil class-action lawsuit filed by Twitter shareholders in October 2022 — just weeks before Musk formally took control of the company. Musk testified during the multi-week trial; he initially agreed to buy Twitter in April 2022, tried to back out in subsequent months, and ultimately completed the acquisition.** **Plaintiffs’ counsel estimates the jury’s award could reach roughly $2.5 billion, with the final amount tied to the number of investors who opt into the class action.** **Musk intends to appeal the ruling, his law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan said. The firm noted Musk has recently won unrelated appeals in Texas and Delaware.**

Bitcoin Price Could Visit $43K Before Next Bull Market — Here’s How
For the first time in nearly two months, the Bitcoin price had a sustained run above the psychological $70,000 level over the past week. However, the increased likelihood of potential interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve on Friday, March 20, seems to have elevated market apprehension. Interestingly, an on-chain evaluation suggests that the Bitcoin price was always destined for another round of downside movement — this time below the $50,000 level. Is BTC Price Preparing For Another Leg Down? In a Friday post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared an on-chain insight into the potential bottom of the BTC price in the current bear cycle. According to the market pundit, the price of Bitcoin appears to be headed to the $43,000 level before starting the next bull cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds At $69,000— Glassnode Data Shows What To Expect Through Late March This projection is based on the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) pricing bands, which show the different profitability levels of the premier cryptocurrency. These pricing bands also function as dynamic support and resistance levels, as they compare the current market price to the average realized value (average cost basis) of all investors. As shown in the chart above, MVRV pricing bands have proven, in past cycles, to be quite effective in predicting market tops and bottoms. Using the on-chain metric, Martinez has identified the 0.8 MVRV band as the potential bottom of the Bitcoin price in the ongoing bear market. Martinez revealed that over the past decade, the price of BTC has always rebounded from this 0.8 MVRV band, marking the start of a fresh bull cycle. The highlighted chart shows the flagship cryptocurrency bouncing back to a new high after hitting its cycle low — around this band in 2018, 2020, and 2022. According to data from Glassnode, the 0.8 MVRV band currently lies around the $43,647 region, putting the potential bottom of this cycle nearly 40% away from the current price. If history were to repeat itself, this on-chain evaluation suggests that the Bitcoin price could be at risk of further downside in the coming months. It is important to mention that while the 0.8 MVRV band is currently at $43,647, it is liable to change with further movements in price. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $70,477, reflecting a 0.6% increase in the past 24 hours.
