Bitcoin may crash to $15,000 in this year, says stock market expert Gareth Soloway

Gareth Soloway shared his prediction on the trade price of Bitcoin on behalf of the current development around Bitcoin. He explained that Bitcoin spot ETF products are going to impact the Bitcoin trade price badly with the high sell pressure of stock market.

Current trade price of Bitcoin (BTC) is $43,350 & this trade price is 3% higher over the last 24 hours. 

As we know, a total of 11 Bitcoin spot ETF applications were approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 10 Jan 2024. So now Bitcoin trading via ETF is possible on the American stock exchanges. Alternatively we can say that stock investors are also now investing in Bitcoin via Bitcoin spot ETF products and slowly slowly a huge amount of money is getting into the Bitcoin market from the stock market.

So we can conclude that the financial impact on the stock market will also lead to some degree of problem for Bitcoin trade price on the crypto exchanges.

In short, the current trade price level of Bitcoin is very logical with recent developments. He said that the outflows from GBTC, noting that “there was a lot of smart money that bought ahead of this news.”

This Stock market expert shared his bearish point on Bitcoin in relation with S&P. He believes that the Bitcoin trade price may retest the $15k level if the stock market crashes by 50%.
