Benjamin Cowen Issues Bitcoin Alert, Says Potential Plunge ‘That Scares People’ Incoming – Here’s His Outlook

Widely followed analyst Benjamin Cowen is issuing a warning on Bitcoin (BTC) as the flagship crypto asset trades near its all-time high.

In a new video, Cowen tells his 820,000 YouTube subscribers that Bitcoin could turn bearish around one month after the US general election.

“I just want to put that out there as one potential outcome that following the election, there’s going to be a lot of really bold calls as to what will happen. And what I think could happen is a drop sometime in early December that scares people. And I think it might be around the time of the labor market release [Non-Farm Payroll report is scheduled for December 6th].”

According to Cowen, Bitcoin could drop somewhere between 12% to 46% from the current level if the bearish scenario plays out.

“What is unclear to me right now is whether that drop by Bitcoin is just back-testing this [around $65,000] and then going up in 2025 or if it’s back-testing down here [around $40,000] and then going up. That is what I still remain somewhat unsure of…”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $73,813, down about 2% from its all-time high of around $75,400.

The widely followed analyst says that his envisaged Bitcoin correction in December would likely be temporary if it happens.

“I could envision a scenario where after the political outcomes are all decided if Bitcoin doesn’t immediately move up and then it starts to crash people might assume that the cycle is over. But it could very well just simply be the soft landing scenario…

…you could get a situation where you know Bitcoin sort of falls here and then rallies on up to new all-time highs in 2025.”
