Bitcoin Could Close the Gap with Gold as Deleveraging Ends

CNBC’s Squawk Box recently hosted Tom Lee, Fundstrat expert and Bitcoin bull, who suggests Bitcoin may soon catch up to gold prices. This view stems from a belief that deleveraging, a period of significant financial institution selling off their holdings including Bitcoin, has concluded. As the market recovers, BTC’s price is poised to surge higher as it breaks through the $87,000 mark, even surpassing its peak recently. Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior commodity strategist, paints a starkly contrasting picture. He predicts Bitcoin will crash to $10,000 and sees deflationary recession shaping stock market and commodities trends. McGlone believes the S&P 500 would collapse to 4,032 and crude oil could drop to $40 per barrel, as well as copper and corn prices falling to near zero in this bleak scenario.
