Crypto Analyst Warns of Potential Market Decline as Bitcoin and Stocks Follow Similar Trend

A well-known crypto analyst is cautioning that the digital asset market might face further declines if the current trend of Bitcoin and stocks moving in tandem continues.

In a recent update, crypto trader Justin Bennett shared that the broader market’s performance, particularly the S&P 500, could be a signal for potential downside in crypto.

He highlighted that after hitting resistance at the recent highs, the stock market is likely to retreat to the 5,877 level, which could pull crypto down with it. Bennett also pointed out that Ethereum’s current price action makes it a key asset to monitor in this scenario.

Bennett also emphasized Bitcoin’s dominance in the market, suggesting that Bitcoin (BTC) will continue to lead while altcoins lag behind. Currently, Bitcoin dominance sits at 61.92%, and Bennett sees it potentially reaching 72% in the coming months, maintaining his earlier prediction from December that Bitcoin would continue to outperform altcoins.

In terms of short-term price movement, Bennett predicts that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to experience sideways trading, with a bearish outlook. This sentiment comes in the wake of comments from U.S. President Donald Trump about trade tariffs, which have caused some market uncertainty.
