Mike McGlone softens bitcoin downside target to $28,000 after backlash over $10,000 call
Market analysts said the extreme downside scenario risked influencing real capital flows, prompting a heated public debate over bitcoin’s macro outlook.
What to know:
- Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone has shifted his bitcoin downside target from $10,000 to about $28,000 after criticism that his earlier call was alarmist and risky for investors.
- McGlone now argues that $28,000 is a more probable level based on historical price distribution and maintains that his analysis shows why investors should avoid bitcoin and other risk assets.
- Critics including Jason Fernandes and Mati Greenspan say the revised $28,000 target is still unlikely or overly deterministic, warning that such stark forecasts can distort positioning and put real capital at risk in reflexive crypto markets.
