In an exclusive Cointelegraph interview, the crypto analyst pointed to macro headwinds, muted sentiment and cycle dynamics shaping Bitcoin’s path into 2026.

Bitcoin and several major altcoins attempted to start a relief rally, but higher levels continue to attract strong selling by the bears.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino warned that an AI sector correction could spill over into crypto markets in 2026, with some analysts projecting BTC to drop to as low as $65,000.

Bitcoin simmered below resistance but teased a bullish breakout as the Asia trading session accompanied new all-time highs for gold and silver.

Headlines move crypto fast, but liquidity decides what lasts. Data from ETFs, stablecoins and onchain flows shows what really drives prices.

BTC may fall to $70,000 and ETH to $2,400 if the Fed pauses rate cuts in the first quarter of 2026 and inflationary pressure persists.

Bitcoin ETF performance remained negative on Christmas Eve as a short final US trading session produced another $175 million in net outflows.

Bitcoin options markets remain tilted toward bears despite US investors’ expectations of economic stimulus injections and semi-bullish outlook for 2026.
