There will be no serious crash of Bitcoin — at least, that's what macroeconomist Lyn Alden believes. While everyone panics over the decline $BTC from $126,000 to $80,000, the expert calmly explains why the 'big capitulation' is not a threat to us.
Lyn Alden talked about euphoric levels when the cryptocurrency price rises for an extended period, and traders believe that it will always be this way, buying coins en masse at their peak value. This frenzy inevitably ends with a sharp market crash. Alden explained that in this market cycle, Bitcoin did not reach euphoric levels, so there is no reason to expect serious capitulation from traders.
The macroeconomist disagreed with the theory of Bitcoin's four-year cycle after the halving event. The market cycle could last significantly longer, exceeding the usual four-year frame, as market dynamics are now determined not by halving but by the macroeconomic situation, such as central banks' monetary policy, and the growing interest in Bitcoin from major companies. These factors could have a more prolonged impact, Olden explained.
She urged investors not to hope for a bull rally. Olden expects that $BTC will reclaim the $100,000 mark in 2026 and establish new records in the next two years. In her opinion, the current volatility of Bitcoin is part of a prolonged cycle, not the beginning of a drawn-out bear trend in the crypto market.
Earlier, Olden stated that Bitcoin has long-term potential. The economist believes that in the next decade, the first cryptocurrency will reach a round mark of $1 million and surpass gold in market capitalization.
