Michael Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., has issued a warning to investors about a forthcoming dip in Bitcoin’s value amidst its current rally.
During an interview with Bloomberg TV, Novogratz detailed his expectations for Bitcoin’s market movements. He predicted that, despite the digital currency’s impressive gains this year, a correction would precede a significant rise to new, never-before-seen heights.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to see some corrections and some consolidation,” said Novogratz. “If it corrects, it might correct to the mid-$50,000s, before taking off to the new high.”
Novogratz also touched on the issue of market leverage, comparing the current investment landscape to that of the bull run in 2021.
Novogratz stated that a shift occurred in leverage dynamics, with institutional investors playing a more conservative role while retail investors, particularly millennials and Gen-Z, have been taking on significant risks through leveraged positions offered by offshore platforms.
“I think the market is too leveraged right now. It happens after huge runs,” said Novogratz. “There will be a wash out. People can’t sustain this much leverage.”
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $61,528, 20.22% up from a week ago.
