Economist Alex Krüger Issues BTC Warning, Says This Could ‘Send Prices Crashing’ After Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval

Extensively adopted economist Alex Krüger is issuing a warning to merchants about Bitcoin (BTC), saying that the crypto king might crash after the approval of a spot market exchange-traded fund (ETF).

In a prolonged thread, the analyst tells his 158,900 followers on the social media platform X that he believes the U.S. Securities and Change Fee (SEC) approving spot market BTC ETFs might be a sell-the-news occasion.

In keeping with Krüger, the highest crypto asset by market cap will see an instantaneous rise after the anticipated approval date in January however the rally might be met with profit-taking.

“Bitcoin ETF base case state of affairs:

#1 When: Jan Eighth-Jan tenth

#2 Instant response: up on approval (rationale: presently 90% priced-in)

#3 Comply with-up: drop under pre-approval level into launch ~2 weeks later, cleansing up all late levered monkeys (rationale: market [is] very popular now, with altcoins funding within the 20-60%, and Bitcoin’s March futures annualized foundation round 17-20%).

Notice there isn’t a official date for the launch, it may very well be days after approval, or a lot later, although given what number of ETFs are within the race sooner moderately than later makes extra sense.”

The economist says that robust inflows after the launch of an ETF might assist push BTC’s value up. Nevertheless, if the inflows are weak or if the ETF bids get rejected, he says it might trigger the flagship digital asset to plummet.

“#4 Submit-launch: robust inflows/quantity re-establish the upwards pattern (or, if weak, ship costs crashing, as front-runners have to dump into few bids). Be warned that if by likelihood the ETF will get rejected, costs will quickly collapse. Good concept to have alerts on in January.”

Bitcoin is buying and selling for $42,529 at time of writing, a marginal improve over the past day.
