  • Based on past cycles, sentiment data and on-chain data Hundal believes Bitcoin is likely approaching a bottom and suggests now may be the time to start considering accumulating.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    SwyftX analyst, Pav Hundal, believes the next 150 days will be make or break for the crypto market as investors watch to see how Donald Trump\u2019s newly imposed tariffs play out and whether the CLARITY Act can pass the US Congress before the mid-term elections in November.<\/p>\n

    Speaking on the latest episode of the Tapping Into Crypto<\/em> podcast, Hundal noted that Trump\u2019s new tariffs \u2014 which were introduced to replace other tariffs deemed illegal last week by the US Supreme Court \u2014 could ratchet up uncertainty, potentially hurting risk-off assets like crypto.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    Why this all matters is markets are forward looking, they take what\u2019s happening now, they price it in in anticipation of where it\u2019s going in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n Pav Hundal, Swyftx analyst <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s a huge, huge deal for the globe because the US is the largest consumer base in the world,\u201d he said. Hundal added that \u201cin 150 days this whole thing could be rolled back, or there could be a new version, or there could be something else that happens\u2026what if all of a sudden the US government has to pay back consumers?\u201d<\/p>\n

    The reason 150 days is the key time frame here is that after that time has elapsed, the newly imposed tariffs will need to be approved by the US Congress in order to continue. It\u2019s widely believed there\u2019s virtually no chance they\u2019ll be approved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    In the meantime, Trump\u2019s team is working to develop less temporary tariffs solutions with firmer legal footings. However, much uncertainty remains about what this might look like and if it\u2019ll even be possible.<\/p>\n

    Hundal noted that this uncertainty, while potentially harmful for crypto, could also prove to be a positive catalyst, if it\u2019s resolved in a way that benefits the market.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt sets up this theme of within the next 150 days we\u2019ll either have a good reason to get excited or maybe not be too excited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    If things aren\u2019t interrupted too badly and everyone can get back to the rules of the game, which is global trade, then it\u2019s good for crypto.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    CLARITY Act Odds Slip in Worrying Sign for Crypto Regulation Hopes<\/h2>\n

    Another potential catalyst for a market upturn is the passage of the CLARITY Act, but things on that front aren\u2019t looking as rosy as they were just a week or two ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Tapping Into Crypto<\/em> co-host, Ted Coaldrake, pointed out that the odds of the legislation passing this year on Polymarket had fallen to 57%, down from over 80% just last week. At the time of writing, the odds had risen again to 65%, up from a low of 39% earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

    Coaldrake explained the falling confidence that the CLARITY Act will pass this year is due to the increasingly partisan approaches taken to crypto by the major parties in the US, with the Republicans being strongly pro-crypto and the Democrats emerging as the anti-crypto party.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    Crypto\u2019s seen as the Republican thing, and the Democrats \u2014 because there\u2019s been so much opposition, more so than ever \u2014 they might look at crypto as \u2018that\u2019s their thing, we\u2019re going to operate against it\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n Ted Coaldrake, Tapping into Crypto podcast host <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Coaldrake said it looks likely the Democrats will win the US mid-term elections and take back control of the House of Representatives, making the passage of the CLARITY Act much less likely.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s not super positive as it once was,\u201d Coaldrake lamented, adding \u201cI think it\u2019s just something we need to monitor\u2026it\u2019s not looking as good as it once was.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Market Data Shows Current Bear Worst Since 2018<\/h2>\n

    Figures cited by Coaldrake suggest the current bear market is the most brutal since 2018, outstripping even the dark days of the FTX-induced crypto winter of 2022.<\/p>\n

    Coaldrake pointed to the Fear and Greed Index hitting all-time lows of just 5 out of 100 in recent days and noted Bitcoin has had four consecutive red months \u2014 something it hasn\u2019t done since 2018.<\/p>\n

    Asked if he believes this current cycle is mirroring what we saw in 2018, Hundal said much of what we saw in 2018 has already repeated this cycle and suggested we may now be getting close to a bottom.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe market\u2019s facing a similar level of selling sentiment as it was back then. Not to call that this is 100% the bottom, but it kind of should make everyone think this is kind of the point in the past where we did see some sort of relief or pressure reliever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

    Related: Prominent Analyst Questions Hesitation as Bitcoin Enters Classic Bottom Zone<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Hundal backed up his belief that we may be bearing a bottom with some on-chain data that showed that currently only about 30% of long-term Bitcoin holders are in profit and for short-term holders, the figure is virtually 0.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHow many more weeks we can put up with that being the reality?\u201d Hundal asked. \u201cIt\u2019s the same way as if it was the inverse, it\u2019s like \u2018well everyone\u2019s winning,\u2019 that should be a warning sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
