As Bitcoin ( BTC ) continues to find a pathway to $80,000, economist and market analyst Henrik Zeberg has warned that the asset could face a severe collapse after what he believes will be a temporary bullish rebound. He argued that the current recovery phase represents a “B-wave” bounce within a broader bearish cycle. According to his analysis shared in an X post on May 25, investor sentiment is likely to turn extremely bullish during the rebound before the market eventually experiences a sharp reversal. The outlook was based on an Elliott Wave structure dating back to Bitcoin’s early market cycles. BTC Bounce = B-wave. Sentiment will be extremely Bullish! The Crash will be horrendous. Enjoy the Bounce!

Notably, the analysis projects a short-term rebound after Bitcoin retraced to the 0.618 Fibonacci level around $66,426, with upside targets above current prices. However, the broader setup signals a deeper correction afterward, with downside targets near the $41,492 support region and potentially lower over time. At the same time, the relative strength index ( RSI ) is showing bearish divergence, where prices continued rising as momentum weakened, a pattern that has historically preceded major reversals. The monthly MACD indicator is also nearing a bearish crossover, similar to signals seen before Bitcoin bear markets in 2018 and 2022. Despite the warning, Zeberg said Bitcoin could still see a strong near-term rally, potentially reigniting bullish sentiment across the crypto market before a broader downturn unfolds.

A separate cycle-based chart combining Bitcoin’s four-year market structure, halving events, and Fibonacci time levels suggested the asset is now in the bearish phase of the current cycle. The analysis projected a possible decline toward $50,000, aligning with the weekly 350 moving average that marked previous bear market bottoms. By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $77,513, up about 1.5% over the past 24 hours. The post Renowned economist warns Bitcoin’s ‘crash will be horrendous’ appeared first on Finbold .
