Jim Cramer, the well-known host of CNBC’s Mad Money show, has once again voiced doubt about Bitcoin’s future, indicating that the cryptocurrency will face challenges in recovering amid an ongoing selloff. Cramer’s consistently negative stance has garnered criticism and speculation within the cryptocurrency community, with some anticipating a possible shift to bullish sentiment given his history of inaccurate predictions.

Cramer’s Pessimistic Predictions

Having previously managed hedge funds and co-founded Thestreet.com, Cramer utilized social media to express his views on Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations. Following the cryptocurrency’s decline below $39,000, he commented,

“Now that Bitcoin is down approximately 20% from its peak, I anticipate a strong resistance, but it won’t endure due to insufficient capital influx. New theme: Number Go Down.”

Cramer’s earlier characterization of the price drop as a “nasty beginning” to a substantial downward trend underscores his pessimistic perspective.

The Reverse Cramer Effect

Critics on the X social media platform were quick to highlight Cramer’s past inaccuracies in predicting Bitcoin’s price movements. Many referenced the “reverse Cramer effect,” a phenomenon where Cramer’s bearish forecasts are seen by some as a potential signal for a market reversal towards a bullish trend. Some investors interpret Cramer’s skepticism as an indication that Bitcoin might have reached a bottom.

SEC-Approved Spot Bitcoin ETFs and Market Response

Cramer’s recent remarks coincide with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on January 10. Initially, the cryptocurrency market experienced a surge, propelling Bitcoin’s price above $47,000 in anticipation of ETF approval. However, the subsequent selloff, contrary to expectations, resulted in a decline in BTC’s value.

Cramer’s Perspective on Bitcoin ETFs

While consistently warning about Bitcoin’s declining price, Cramer clarified that he is not vehemently opposed to spot Bitcoin ETFs. Recognizing BTC’s 15-year history and established position, he expressed a willingness to allow individuals to speculate on the cryptocurrency. However, they had to conduct thorough research.

Insights from Other Market Figures

Contributing additional viewpoints, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes shared his analysis of Bitcoin, forecasting a potential support range between $30,000 and $35,000. Hayes disclosed his purchase of options with a $35,000 strike price and indicated plans to begin “bottom fishing” once the coin falls below this threshold.

Current Bitcoin Price and Market Stability

At the latest update, BTC is trading at $39,762.21, displaying no significant declines. The stability in the current price prompts a closer examination to determine whether Cramer’s predictions will materialize or if the market might witness an unforeseen reversal.

It further elicits reactions ranging from skepticism to speculation about a potential market turnaround. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC has introduced complexity to market dynamics, challenging conventional expectations. Given the unpredictable nature of the crypto market, investors are advised to exercise caution. Investors are urged to conduct thorough research before making decisions based on the perspectives of influential figures like Cramer and Hayes.
