According to Foresight News, BlockTower founder Ari Paul expressed on social media that cryptocurrencies are poised to lead a shift in overall macroeconomic inflation, potentially returning to a bull market within six months. He anticipates that stocks will begin to recover approximately nine months later. Paul predicts Bitcoin's pullback range to be between $73,000 and $77,000, indicating a possibility of increasing holdings within this price range. He remains confident that the crypto bull market is not over but notes that this cycle is significantly different from previous ones, potentially being slower and more sustained.
Paul highlighted that the stock market is expected to undergo a challenging phase over the next 4 to 15 months, with an estimated duration of about nine months. This is primarily attributed to government deflationary policies, such as tariffs and large-scale layoffs. While cryptocurrencies and stocks are on different cyclical rhythms, short-term correlations still exist. Altcoins may initially follow stocks in declining but could bottom out before stocks due to their significant drop compared to 2021 prices.
