Record mood with risk: Why investors at Bitcoin should now remain vigilant

Bitcoin remains in the upswing – but experts warn in addition to house -high forecasts as well as reset in the event of a weak market environment.

Bitcoin as a safe harbor?

In addition, the acceptance of the digital currency as “digital gold” is growing among market participants.

For example, finance author Robert Kiyosaki recently speaks for Bitcoin protection. In a social media contribution, he recently expressed doubts about the security of conventional pension portfolios, which mostly consisted of stocks and bonds, and warned of a possible collapse that was evident in parallels to the great depression from 1929.

Kiyosaki also referred to the well -known investors Warren Buffett and Jim Rogersthat would have noticeably reduced their engagements in stocks and bonds. He evaluates that both are now increasingly relying on cash and silver as an indication that there may be profound structural problems in the financial system. “I stay with gold, silver and bitcoin,” he specifies.

“America’s debts get out of control. America is the largest debtor state in world history. You can only print money for a limited time to pay for your bills,” he continues.

And most experts also agree that a correction downwards is rather unlikely. The forecasts for the price of the original cryptocurrency of $ 180,000 ranges to $ 2.9 million.

Keep an eye on risk

However, the investment bank Piper Sandler recently warned of possible reset at Bitcoin, should the market environment be cloudy in the coming weeks, as Wallstreet reports online. Chief strategist Michael Kantrowitz sees a close connection between the course development of the cryptocurrency and the stock market. If there is a sale of risky systems – for example as a result of new interest or customs worries – the Bitcoin should also come under pressure at short notice.

Since the market low on April 9, cryptocurrency has increased by around 55 percent, driven above all through institutional demand via Bitcoin ETFs and corporate purchases. In the same period, the S&P 500 could only increase by about 17 percent. Despite the strong performance, Bitcoin 2025 is less volatile overall than in previous years – his movements are now more likely to follow the general risk -deteriority than wild price swings.

One example of this is the price slide in early April: after the announcement of new US tariffs, Bitcoin lost 5 percent, the S&P 500 around 4 percent. It is also clear that Bitcoin is still strongly linked to the movements of the stock markets in uncertain market phases.

In addition, August is historically a rather weak month for cryptocurrencies, including because of the low trade volumes during the summer break. Kantrowitz therefore recommends taking profits in well -run stocks – but emphasizes that this is not a general pessimism compared to the US stock market, but a tactical measure in the context of risk management.
