I doubt they actually take any positions with their predictions anyways. Just the other day I heard one bank say that the price off crude oil will hit $120 while a few days prior some oil company said that prices won’t go any higher than they are today. Basically nobody knows where anything is going to go in the near future.
Which makes no sense as how can they get an edge from information which is publicly available? So just ignore it and treat it as the background noise it really is.
They have their own narrative for pushing that prediction obviously, and it's going to be double edge sword. If they hit it, they can brag and say to their investors "I told you so, so bring more money to us and we will make more money to you". They will make some noise and sell it to their investors and even to those average joe who read the news and maybe they are going to invest as well. So we will see how this predictions will happen this year or at least the first quarter of 2022. Could be a hit or miss.
this institution is just purely for business here. remember before when its CEO said bitcoin is 'worthless', and now, they are seeing the price is going up and reaching new heights, they want to ride the popularity of bitcoin.
they may have the money but for me, they are not credible with respect to giving predictions. just another institution who wants media attention, so they can attract more investors.
