Standard Chartered предупреждает о падении биткоина до $50 000, но называет отскок неизбежным Translation: Standard Chartered warns of Bitcoin dropping to $50,000 but calls a rebound inevitable.

Analysts at Standard Chartered have revised their short-term outlook for cryptocurrencies, cautioning about the potential continuation of price corrections, followed by a possible recovery by year-end. This information comes from a report cited by The Block.

“In the coming months, we will face further challenges and a definitive price capitulation for digital assets. The macroeconomic environment is unlikely to provide support until we approach Kevin Warsh’s appointment as the head of the Federal Reserve,” stated Jeffrey Kendrick, head of cryptocurrency research at Standard Chartered.

The expert predicts that Bitcoin’s price will drop to $50,000, while Ethereum may reach $1,400. He believes that at these levels, investors are likely to start making significant purchases.

By the end of 2026, Kendrick anticipates the leading cryptocurrencies will rebound to $100,000 and $4,000, respectively.

He also adjusted the target levels for other digital assets.

Kendrick noted that the digital asset class will remain under pressure in the short term, although the broader outlook remains unchanged.

He identified the behavior of Bitcoin ETF investors, driven by unrealized losses, as a primary reason for the market’s negativity. According to his estimates, the total assets in these funds have decreased by nearly 100,000 BTC since the price peak in October 2025.

Macroeconomic conditions are also exerting pressure on market sentiment. Recent U.S. economic data suggests mixed prospects, leading market participants to not anticipate a decrease in interest rates.

Standard Chartered believes that the current situation may hinder attracting new investments in cryptocurrency in the coming months.

Despite the pessimistic short-term outlook, Kendrick pointed out that the current decline is less severe compared to previous cycles. The absence of major collapses and bankruptcies indicates a more resilient crypto market.

It is worth noting that analysts from K33 Research have identified signs of investor capitulation occurring simultaneously in the spot market, ETF sector, and derivatives.
