Bloomberg analyst: If the U.S. stock market retracts by 20%, Bitcoin may head towards the support level of $10,000

Bloomberg senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone stated yesterday that if the U.S. stock market retracts by 20%, Bitcoin may head towards the support level of $10,000. McGlone pointed out that since 2009, the first cryptocurrency, BTC, has led the rise of risk assets, but Bitcoin breaking through the peak of $100,000 in 2025, gold rising above $5,000 in the first quarter, and most central banks shifting to a cautious stance alongside soaring government bond yields may signal the endgame.

In response, crypto analyst Darkfost countered that even if the U.S. stock market experiences a 20% level retraction, there has historically been no situation that corresponds to BTC dropping about 92% from its peak; therefore, he believes this price target is "highly unlikely."
