The post Crypto Market Not Showing Signs Of ‘Major Capitulation,’ Says Economist appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A significant crash for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market doesn’t look likely at this stage, according to macroeconomist Lyn Alden. “We haven’t hit euphoric levels in this cycle; therefore, there is less of a reason to expect a kind of major capitulation,” Alden said during a recent episode of the What Bitcoin Did podcast. “The cycle could go on for longer than people can expect, because it’s not driven by the halving, it’s driven by broader macro and interest in the asset itself,” Alden said, shutting down the idea that the four-year cycle is still intact. The sentiment mirrors comments from other crypto industry executives, such as Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan, who recently dismissed the four-year-cycle theory and said the market is likely in “for a good few years.” Alden says market outcomes usually not as good or bad as people expect However, not everyone agrees with Alden that a major capitulation is off the table.  Vineet Budki, CEO of venture firm Sigma Capital, recently told Cointelegraph that he expects a Bitcoin (BTC) retracement of 65% to 70% in the next two years.

It comes as Bitcoin has been in a downtrend since reaching new all-time highs of $125,100 on Oct. 5, dropping to as low as $80,700 on Thursday before recovering slightly to $85,710 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap.  Bitcoin is down 22.46% over the past 30 days.
