A widely followed crypto analyst is issuing a warning, saying that the rest of 2024 looks less than ideal for altcoins.
In a new video update, crypto strategist Benjamin Cowen tells his 813,000 YouTube subscribers that based on historical patterns, altcoins appear set to plummet near the end of the year and capitulate against Bitcoin (BTC).
[adinserter block="1"]Cowen says the capitulation also lines up with the beginning of a new interest rate-cutting cycle.
“If you connect the dots from the last cycle, 2018, 2019 to 2020, you can see that it basically tagged this trend line three times and then the third tag of the trend line ended up being the bottom.
We know that this interest rate cycle, this business cycle, has taken a little bit longer and if you connect the dots again – one, two and three – the third tag of the trend line might actually occur by the end of the year and coincidentally if you look at this trend line where you connect the dots, it hits 0.25 in Q4 which is exactly what I’ve said could be the ultimate outcome: alt/Bitcoin pairs capitulating before the end of the year.
So I think there is a case to be made that alt/Bitcoin pairs will simply get rejected at 0.4, they could still wick a little bit above it, but I ultimately think they will get rejected and they will come back down to the range lows before the end of the year.”
According to Cowen, altcoins will also bleed out against the top crypto asset by market cap due to low net global liquidity, which he argues is a big driver for digital assets.
“One of the things that you have to consider is what’s causing this to go down and arguably one of the main things is net liquidity. So if you look at the global net liquidity approximation, you will see that it has in fact been putting in lower highs and lower lows for a while and actually if you overlay this chart with alt/Bitcoin pairs, you can actually pretty clearly see that alt/Bitcoin pairs broke down to the fake out right at the same time net liquidity was having a fake breakdown.”
