Trader Notes:
Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn highlighted in a podcast with Scott Melker that Bitcoin’s bear market ended with the June lows.
Panelists agreed that Bitcoin likely bottomed in June, with one describing any decline below $80,000 as a potential buying opportunity over the next 12–18 months.
The panel remained bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, arguing that institutional adoption, tokenization and AI-driven trading infrastructure continue advancing despite bearish sentiment.
On the other hand, near-term volatility and unresolved market structure challenges could complicate the recovery.
Bernstein has lowered its outlook for crypto stocks, including Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) and Circle (NYSE:CRCL), reflecting uncertainty over the sector’s recovery.
