In this YouTube video, Austin discusses the current downturn in the cryptocurrency market, specifically noting a decline in market capitalization from over $2.5 trillion to approximately $2.38 trillion—a loss of hundreds of billions. He highlights that Bitcoin is now in the $65,000 range and anticipates it may drop further, possibly below $65,000. Despite the declines, Austin reassures viewers that this is expected and not a cause for panic. The ongoing narrative driving the market down relates to inflation and Federal Reserve policies, particularly their refusal to reduce interest rates despite some positive consumer price index news.
Austin points out that historically, the months following a Bitcoin halving see market volatility, and he places the current downturn in this context. He believes Bitcoin may trade within the $60,000 to $70,000 range moving forward. Austin emphasizes the importance of remaining calm and adhering to a strategy, suggesting that investors should not act on emotion. He encourages viewers to focus on their long-term plans and assures them that after the current rough phase, the market will recover. Overall, he maintains a positive outlook despite temporary setbacks in cryptocurrency prices.
