Overview
A renewed wave of bearish price calls is converging around the idea that crypto’s drawdown may not be finished. Standard Chartered’s digital assets research, echoed across multiple outlets, frames the next phase as potential capitulation driven by macro pressure and weakening ETF-related demand, before a later recovery. Separate commentary from Michael Terpin and Peter Schiff adds to the downside-focused chorus, with each pointing to the possibility of another leg lower before any durable rebound.
