Enjoy the Silence before the Storm

A tough year is ending. Inflation, interest rates, wars, and more made the bearish market sentiment, in TradFi and crypto alike, so omni-present during 2023, that many investors were caught by surprise that Bitcoin made +150% (at least at the time of writing this early December). Any TradFi investor would call you crazy for naming a market with a 150% surge a bear market. Well, welcome to crypto – and the Crypto Outlook 2024 edition!

Crypto David versus Macro Goliath

As we approach 2024, the crypto market stands at a crossroad of challenging macroeconomic conditions, and a promising bull market. After a modest recovery from its 2023 lows, we might see 2024 split into two distinct phases. The first one testing the crypto market’s resilience amidst a potential recession, tightening liquidity and monetary conditions, followed by a second phase, a full-fledged bull run fueled by easing macro conditions as well as the halving and a potential Bitcoin spot ETF.
