Recent turbulence in the crypto market has unsettled many investors, but several analysts argue that the latest correction may be setting the stage for a stronger and more sustainable upside move. According to this perspective, if risk appetite returns following a broad market reset, Bitcoin (BTC) could outperform not only digital assets but also traditional benchmarks such as the Nasdaq and gold.
A Reset Driven by Volatility
Devere Group CEO Nigel Green emphasizes that Bitcoin’s sharp pullback was largely the result of leveraged positions being forcefully unwound. He notes that such deep resets tend to be constructive in the long term, as they clear excesses and strengthen the structural foundation for future rallies. Compared with equities, Bitcoin experienced a much steeper reset, which Green believes could translate into greater relative strength during recovery phases.
Green also points out that Bitcoin often behaves like a leading indicator within the broader risk-asset universe. Movements in the Nasdaq are frequently mirrored in Bitcoin but with significantly higher amplitude. For instance, a 4% retreat in the Nasdaq can manifest as nearly a 30% decline in Bitcoin. This dynamic, Green argues, reflects how investor sentiment is most intensely expressed in crypto markets.
Macro Conditions Could Give Bitcoin an Edge
According to Green, Bitcoin’s tendency to react aggressively becomes advantageous when macro conditions begin to improve. In environments where investors gradually shift from fear to selective risk-taking, Bitcoin often gains momentum more rapidly than traditional assets. This shift does not require perfect economic conditions—only a modest return of confidence.
While discussing gold, Green acknowledges its strength during periods of uncertainty. However, he highlights that as markets pivot toward recovery, capital typically gravitates toward assets with higher potential returns. Bitcoin, with its limited supply and growth-oriented characteristics, stands out in such phases.
Is the Market Positioned for a New Rally?
Green notes that investor engagement has remained resilient despite heightened volatility, suggesting that the market is not experiencing an exodus but rather undergoing recalibration. Combined with improving technical indicators and maturing regulatory frameworks, he believes Bitcoin is entering a favorable environment.
After facing deeper downside pressure than both the Nasdaq and gold, Bitcoin may be well-positioned to outperform both assets if a broader risk-asset rebound begins. According to Green, the probability of Bitcoin leading the next rally in the coming weeks appears increasingly strong.
