Standard Chartered Bank analyst: Bitcoin’s recent decline is related to the overall weakness of risky assets, and it is still bullish to $200,000 in the long run. Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered Bank, said that Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations are consistent with the performance of risky assets such as the “Seven U.S. stocks”, rather than cryptocurrencies’ own problems. He pointed out that the decline in Bitcoin is mainly affected by overall market sentiment, and the future rebound may rely on two major catalysts: the overall recovery of risky assets or the positive news of Bitcoin (such as the United States or other sovereign purchases). If the Fed quickly turns to a rate cut (such as the probability of a rate cut in May rises from 50% to 75%), it may drive Bitcoin to rebound; but if the downward trend continues, Bitcoin may fall below $76,500 and test the $69,000 support level.

Despite short-term pressure, Kendrick remains optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term outlook, which is expected to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025. He stressed that current market volatility has increased the likelihood of the Fed's interest rate cut, further cementing his long-term bullish view. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs and Fed's interest rate decisions will continue to affect market sentiment and bring uncertainty to Bitcoin's trend.

Bitcoin is approaching bottoming out and is expected to rebound in the second quarter

On March 12, LMAX Digital's Joel Kruger believes that the current weakness in the crypto market is "more caused by the sell-off effect after the news is cashed out and the technical overdue adjustment, rather than other factors. "But of course, there are more factors at play. The uncertainty of the U.S. economic outlook has triggered risk aversion in the market. Nevertheless, Kruger still believes that Bitcoin is approaching bottoming out and is expected to rebound in the second quarter. And in the former resistance range between $69,000 and $74,000, Bitcoin "should be extremely supportive." Kruger had earlier stated that Bitcoin's "store of value" narrative may help it get rid of the "misleading" correlation with traditional risk assets.
