Macro investor and Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal has argued that Bitcoin's recent price decline is due to a U.S. liquidity shortage, not any inherent flaws in the cryptocurrency itself, Cointelegraph reports. He explained that BTC has been moving in sync with software-as-a-service stocks, as both asset classes are valued on future cash flows and adoption potential. According to Pal, their recent downturn reflects a sensitivity to the macroeconomic liquidity environment and interest rate outlook. Pal noted that rising gold prices have absorbed liquidity, leaving fewer funds for BTC and software stocks. He added that the disappearance of the U.S. Treasury's reverse repo buffer has accelerated this liquidity outflow. Addressing concerns about potential hawkish policies from rumored Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh, Pal predicted that Warsh would instead cut interest rates and permit economic growth. He forecasts a bull market in the second half of the year, driven by a renewed supply of liquidity.

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's Mad Money, predicted on X that Bitcoin will recover to $82,000 despite currently trading around $77,000. He anticipates a surge in buying pressure will drive the price up. Cramer suggested that Strategy (MSTR) founder Michael Saylor would act to boost BTC's price after reviewing MSTR's stock performance. He added that such a move would lead some investors to call a double bottom and buy in, disregarding that the price had temporarily fallen below $80,000. Cramer is widely known in the investment community as a contrarian indicator for his often inaccurate market forecasts.

Bitcoin has entered a period of mild, range-bound correction rather than a distinct bull market or a panic-driven bear market, according to an analysis by XWIN Research Japan, a contributor to CryptoQuant. The firm noted that its Apparent Demand indicator, which measures the net balance between BTC supply and demand, registered -19,000 BTC in late January. This suggests new demand is nearly non-existent and supply pressure is outpacing market inflows. Additionally, the Realized Cap metric has stagnated. The analysis states that a structural divergence exists between the current price level and demand indicators, making it difficult to interpret the situation as bullish even if BTC remains in the high $70,000s. The research firm highlighted that current Apparent Demand figures are less extreme compared to the bear markets of 2014-2015, 2018-2019, and 2022. Intermittent price recoveries suggest that selling is primarily driven by profit-taking rather than fear-based capitulation. Slowing inflows into spot BTC ETFs and reduced buying from Strategy are impacting demand, with selling from early holders becoming more prominent. However, no large-scale selling at a loss by long-term holders has been observed. Consequently, a prolonged correction is considered more likely than a sharp decline, with range-bound trading expected to continue for the time being. The market outlook could shift, the analysis concludes, if Apparent Demand turns positive and the Realized Cap begins to increase.

Bitcoin has entered a downward trend that could last for several months, according to former NYSE Arca options trader Eric Crown. In an interview with CoinDesk, Crown stated that BTC could fall to the low $60,000s or even the mid-$50,000s. He diagnosed that the cryptocurrency has been in a sideways and declining phase since last October, pointing to technical indicators such as a death cross on the monthly MACD and bearish signals from the 21-day and 55-day weekly moving averages. Crown also noted that investors typically sell speculative assets first and that traders have become wary of re-entering positions following the largest-ever forced liquidation event last October. However, he added that the current market likely represents a potential value accumulation phase rather than the end of the entire crypto market cycle.
