Odaily Planet Daily reports that Quinn Thompson, founder of Lekker Capital and crypto hedge fund manager, stated in an interview with CoinDesk that Bitcoin is expected to fall back to the $50,000 range (between $50,000 and $59,999) by the end of this year, a decline of about 50% from its previous peak of over $109,000.
He pointed out that the policies of the Trump administration may negatively impact the U.S. economy in the next 6 to 9 months, which could put pressure on risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. He described the current policies as "controlled burns," aimed at clearing risks, but there is also the possibility of them evolving into a "wildfire." Thompson believes that the crypto market is unlikely to show impressive performance under the current macro environment. (CoinDesk)
