I noticed an interesting forecast from analysts at a major bank. The team from Standard Chartered believes that крипто could still drop quite significantly — биток might test the level of 50 thousand, and эфир could fall to 1400. It sounds rather grim, but they say this will be the exact point where accumulation begins. Their chief крипто analyst predicts a rebound to 100 thousand for биток and 4 thousand for эфир by the end of 2026.

In their view, the main issue is the behavior of биток ETF investors who are losing money. It appears that since the peak last October, nearly 100 thousand биток have been withdrawn from funds. Macroeconomic factors are also putting pressure — US data are conflicting, and no one expects interest rate cuts. This makes it difficult for new money to flow into крипто in the coming months.

But what’s interesting is that experts note the current correction is much milder than in previous cycles. There are no major crashes or bankruptcies. The market is clearly healthier than before. Currently, биток is trading around 67 thousand, and эфир around 2 thousand, so there’s still a way to go before reaching their медвежьи targets. It will be interesting to see how this develops further.
