Market expert John Hussman, who has predicted previous market disasters, warns of the impending ‘bear market’. Other analysts suggest that the Bitcoin price is technically preparing for the bull.
John Hussman expects 60% drop in markets
Market expert John Hussman, known for his accurate predictions of previous market crashes, said we will see negative results in the short term. Hussman was among those who foretold the Dot-com collapse and the Global Financial Crisis. He bases his expectation of the latest collapse on current market conditions.
Hussman relies on two critical indicators to gauge stock market direction. These are ‘volume’ and ‘investor sentiment’. Both factors are currently of concern, according to their analysis. Using his preferred valuation measure, which compares the market value of non-financial stocks with gross value added, Hussman claims the market has overvalued even more than it did during the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis.
Hussman’s bearish outlook for the stock market could also extend to the broader crypto market. Earlier, JPMorgan analyst Dubravko shared a similar view at Lakos-Bujas. A major crash in the US stock market could have a ripple effect on cryptocurrencies. However, there is also the potential for Bitcoin to break the $25,000 support level. Some experts even predict that Bitcoin will drop to $20,000 or below.
Bitcoin is wildly bearish
Elsewhere, popular crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has suggested that the bear market will be driven by individual investors. The crypto analyst highlights the extreme bearish trend he finds “insane” against Bitcoin among retail investors. He suggests that many investors are stuck in the 2022 mindset that witnessed the FTX crash.
Retail is so extremely bearish on #Bitcoin and #Crypto, it's almost insane.
People are stuck in the 2022 mindset.
