Cramer admits to making profits on his Bitcoin investments

On his CNBC show, host Jim Cramer has urged viewers to sell their crypto holdings, irrespective of the cost and made incorrect calls on Bitcoin price, on several occasions. The markets commentator admitted that he was wrong about Bitcoin and said that he prematurely called investors to sell their crypto. 

In the November 22 segment of the show, while addressing a caller’s question, Cramer said that anyone who likes Bitcoin should increase their exposure to BTC. Cramer was quoted as saying:

Look, if you like Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin. That has always been my view. And for a while, I liked it, and I decided that money had been made, but I was premature.

The host admitted that despite his incorrect Bitcoin calls, he still made profits on his BTC investments. 

Bitcoin price eyes bullish target

Bitcoin price is in an uptrend that started in November 2022. The asset climbed from $15,700 to a local top of $37,991, on November 15, 2023. BTC price is likely to face resistance at the psychological level of $40,000, in its uptrend.

The 10, 50 and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) at $36,918, $33,848 and $29,590, respectively, are likely to act as support for the asset in its decline.
