Standard Chartered just lowered their 2026 target from $150K → $100K and says a $50K test is possible...
Why? 👇
📉 ETF outflows
🌎 Weakening macro
💵 Rate cuts expectations fading
📊 Average holder entry ~ $90K (many already underwater)
But here’s the real question —
Is this:
• Smart risk assessment?
• Liquidity grab narrative?
• Or early bear cycle signal?
When big institutions turn cautious, volatility usually follows.
$50K would mean:
→ Major psychological reset
→ Forced liquidations
→ Massive sentiment washout
Fear creates headlines. Structure creates opportunity. If $BTC dips toward $50K, panic… or position? 👀
I’m watching liquidity zones and ETF flow data closely.
What’s your plan if that level gets tapped? 🔥
