Bitcoin - Crash imminent?
已更新
We pointed out a few short-term bullish signs in the past two weeks while maintaining the bearish stance for the medium and long term. In our opinion, the correlation between the stock market and cryptocurrencies continues to threaten the rally as the FED is set to worsen economic conditions tomorrow by raising interest rates. We reason that this will negatively impact the economy and spark another selloff after the decision (or with some latency after it).
Despite that, it would not surprise us to see market participants pile into depreciated assets because of hopes of the primary trend reversal (before the selloff). Indeed, we already notice many analysts calling for the market's bottom and new all-time highs during the current or next year. However, we dismiss these claims as the recent earning season in the United States confirmed our bearish forecasts about corporate underperformance (and progression into the second stage of the bear market).
Because of that, we have no reason to backtrack on our price targets of 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD. Quite contrarily, the erratic moves in the market and quick sentiment changes among retail investors support our thesis as these traits are characteristic of bear markets. Due to that, we remain very cautious and speculate that the bear market rally might be near its end.
