Markets Brace for Potential Downturn Amid Inflation Concerns, Says Markus Thielen

  • Markets might face a significant downturn due to persistent inflation and less favorable economic forecasts.
  • Bitcoin’s recent decline linked to changing expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts, with rates likely to remain high.
  • Bitcoin’s technical indicators suggest it might be overbought, but dynamics between holders could drive recovery.

Recent analysis from Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, points to a looming correction in both the stock and cryptocurrency markets. Thielen’s research, articulated in a note dated April 16, suggests that ongoing economic pressures such as inflation and a cautious bond market are creating a potentially critical situation for investors.

Economic Indicators Spur Caution

Thielen’s outlook is largely driven by current economic signals, including persistently high inflation rates and bond yields that are creating a challenging environment. “The bond market now anticipates fewer than three rate cuts this year, with 10-year Treasury Yields crossing 4.50%,” Thielen explained. This scenario, according to his findings, places significant pressure on risk assets, potentially ushering in a period of decline.

This bearish sentiment is underscored by Bitcoin’s performance, which saw a notable drop of over 9.3% during the week, settling above $63,400. Thielen ties the cryptocurrency’s downturn to fading hopes for imminent interest rate cuts, a major factor buoying the recent rally.

Interest Rates and Market Reactions

The anticipation of static interest rates has solidified, with 99% of traders now expecting the Federal Reserve to maintain the current rate between 5.25% and 5.50%, a notable increase from last month’s 93.6%, as per the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool. This shift in expectations is crucial for understanding the market’s current dynamics and future directions.

Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) — a gauge of whether it is currently overbought or oversold — is at 67, which suggests the asset might be overbought. However, this is a decrease from a high of 88 in late March, indicating some cooling off.

Shifting Dynamics Among Bitcoin Holders

The Bitfinex research report highlights an interesting shift within the Bitcoin investor community. Newer investors, categorized as Short-Term Holders (STHs), are increasingly absorbing the supply being sold by Long-Term Holders (LTHs). This activity is reflected in the rising Market Value to Realized Value ratio for STHs, although it still remains below the peak levels of previous cycles.

If this trend of STHs stepping up to purchase from LTHs continues, it might suggest potential for further price growth in Bitcoin, offering a glimmer of hope amid the broader market concerns. As these market narratives unfold, investors remain watchful, preparing for possible shifts in the economic landscape that could impact their investment strategies significantly.
