Amid the turmoil of global markets, a senior strategist in commodities warns that further upheaval may be forthcoming.
In a recent interview, he highlighted escalating market sell-offs exacerbated by ongoing tariff disputes, predicting a significant downturn in cryptocurrency values. He specifically forecasts that Bitcoin could plummet to $10,000, attributing this to rampant speculation and inflated prices within the crypto sector.
“Take Dogecoin, for instance — it still holds a $20 billion market cap. It should realistically drop to zero. The entire market requires a cleansing, similar to what we saw with the dot-com boom.”
The strategist emphasized that Bitcoin’s current value may encounter serious downward pressure as part of a broader market recalibration. He acknowledged that although the regulatory environment remains somewhat favorable, the “digital gold” narrative surrounding Bitcoin is undergoing a rigorous evaluation.
“Individuals who invested in ETFs are discovering the hard truth. They didn’t acquire digital gold; they secured a value tied to leveraged beta. That’s simply the reality.”
He also mentioned that astute traders might still discover opportunities within the chaos. However, he cautions investors to brace themselves for a lengthy recovery process rather than envisioning a swift “V-shaped” rebound akin to what followed the COVID-19 market crash.
According to him, the stock market has expanded disproportionately compared to the US economy, making a reset seem unavoidable.
“Historically, the US stock market hovered around 1.5 times GDP. Now, we’ve risen to approximately 2.2 times GDP. The markets have simply inflated too much.”
