Bitcoin - The FTX's domino effect
With BlockFi added as another troubled company to our long list, we continue to be bearish on Bitcoin and the overall cryptocurrency market. We believe that FTX's domino effect is still underway, and more companies will start coming forward to announce damages incurred in this cryptocurrency exchange fiasco. As a result, the industry will see the rise of more regulation in parallel to the 2008 crisis and Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy.
In our opinion, that will lead to the final capitulation in the market and drag the price of Bitcoin much lower from the current level. Over time, however, it might be positive as it will increase transparency and provide more safety for a consumer, potentially luring more institutional players and mass adoption. With that being said, we do not expect it to happen right away or anytime soon.
We believe Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies still have a long way to go before reversing their primary trend. Accordingly, we stick to our price target for BTCUSD at 15 000$.
