Crypto Analyst Who Predicted the Last Crash Issues New Warning

Although the cryptocurrency market has entered an optimistic phase with Bitcoin’s renewed momentum and continued institutional buying, Sean Farrell, one of the market’s most accurate predictors, has issued a “be cautious” warning. The Fundstrat analyst states that the risk-reward balance in the market is currently challenging and suggests a strategic pullback for investors.

Farrell stated that they shifted some of their cash assets into risky assets during the sharp decline in February, describing the move as “a purchase made to lease, not to own.”

Noting that Bitcoin has risen by approximately 20-25% from its lows, the analyst stated that now is not the time to “act heroically,” and that accumulating some cash in the strengthening market would be wise.

Several critical factors underlie Farrell’s cautious stance. Oil prices nearing the $100 mark and ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to put pressure on the market.

Farrell noted that the market has almost completely abandoned expectations of interest rate cuts this year, and he does not expect the Fed to adopt an overly supportive stance in the near term. The analyst warned that the deterioration in private credit markets and widening credit margins could put indirect pressure on risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.

Despite short-term fluctuations and the lack of clear signs of “capitation,” Farrell maintains his long-term bull scenario. Predicting a reversal of fiscal and monetary headwinds in the second half of the year, the analyst has not changed his initial target of $115,000 for Bitcoin.

Another noteworthy point in the interview was Farrell’s confidence in the Hyperliquid (HYPE) protocol. Farrell noted that HYPE’s correlation with Bitcoin had fallen to around 0.40 (a very low rate for crypto assets), and argued that the platform’s ability to generate revenue from trading non-crypto assets like commodities and stocks made it a valuable diversification tool for portfolios.
