Bitcoin Warning: Crypto Market Could Face ‘Hammering’ if Stock Market Crashes

Crypto analyst Justin Bennett is raising concerns about Bitcoin’s future, predicting a potential sharp decline if the stock market experiences a crash.

Correlation with Stock Market

Bennett believes that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are closely tied to the performance of the stock market. He warns that if the stock market were to crash, the crypto market would likely suffer significant losses.

Technical Analysis

According to Bennett, Bitcoin’s recent price drop suggests a potential downtrend. He points to the fact that Bitcoin is still trading below its October 2023 trend line and has not yet experienced a “fakeout” or deviation from this trend.

Stablecoin Dominance

Bennett also highlights the declining dominance of Tether (USDT), a stablecoin that has a significant influence on the crypto market. He notes that Tether’s dominance is forming a “higher low,” which could indicate further weakness in the crypto market.

Current Market Conditions

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $65,027, while Tether’s dominance level is 4.87%. Bennett emphasizes that these market conditions do not bode well for the crypto market in the event of a stock market crash.
