Cryptocurrency market analyst Alex Krüger recently expressed the view that the current market pullback is similar to the crash pattern of last August, rather than being driven by political statements from Trump. He emphasized that the real market sell-off pressure comes from the recent tensions regarding U.S. and Russian nuclear submarines and war rhetoric, rather than political noise. Krüger expects Bitcoin (BTC) may hit bottom today or next Monday, after which the market will gradually stabilize.
Regarding the Federal Reserve's policy, Krüger predicts a rate cut in September, which will support the cryptocurrency market in the fourth quarter. He believes that the robust economic fundamentals, increased expectations for rate cuts, coupled with the ongoing rise in institutional adoption, will drive BTC to strengthen before the end of the year. He has set a one-year target price for Bitcoin at $200,000 to $250,000, based on the improvement in the macroeconomic environment and the trend of capital inflows into the cryptocurrency market.
In addition, Krüger anticipates that the Federal Reserve may shift to a dovish stance before May 2026, when the economy could show signs of overheating, further benefiting risk assets. This view aligns with predictions from some Wall Street institutions, such as Morgan Stanley, which has forecasted that the Federal Reserve will gradually cut rates in 2025-2026 to address the slowdown in economic growth.
Overall, Krüger holds a cautious outlook on the short-term market but remains optimistic about the performance of cryptocurrency assets in the medium to long term, especially Bitcoin's safe-haven attributes during the rate-cutting cycle and geopolitical uncertainty. Investors need to pay attention to the Federal Reserve's policy direction and changes in global financial market liquidity to seize potential market turning points.
