The worries surrounding the US recession have skyrocketed once again with traders unwinding their positions in most of the risk assets. Popular economist Peter Schiff stated that Bitcoin ETFs could face a hard time in Monday’s trading session.
Bitcoin ETFs Can See Major Gap Down
As said, the Bitcoin price has now crashed to $54,000 falling under the July lows. As this scenario pans out, popular economist Peter Schiff believes that there could be a 15% gap down for spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday, from the January levels. If so, it could trigger massive liquidations going ahead.
#Bitcoin just sank below $58K. If it takes out it’s July low by tomorrow’s U.S. #StockMarket open, #BitcoinETFs will gap down by more than 15%, 30% below their Jan. highs. A loss of that magnitude may finally trigger mass ETF liquidations. If so, brace for a #Crypto black Monday.
