🚨📉 STANDARD CHARTERED CUTS BTC AND ETH TARGETS — IS A BIGGER SHAKEDOWN COMING?$BTC $ETH $BNB
Standard Chartered bank has just raised alarms in the crypto market.
🔻 Bitcoin 2026: cuts its projection from $150,000 → $100,000
⚠️ And warns that BTC could drop to $50,000 before recovering.
🔻 Ethereum 2026: cut from $7,500 → $4,000
⚠️ Possible drop to $1,400 before the bounce.
And this is not the first cut… it’s the second in just 3 months.
📊 What is happening?
💸 Nearly $8B has left BTC ETFs in the U.S.
🌎 Weaker macro environment
🏦 The Fed delays rate cuts
Bitcoin has already retraced approximately 40% from its October peak.
🧠 Why does this matter?
🔹 Cryptos continue to behave like risk assets, not as a safe haven.
🔹 ETF outflows = direct liquidity pressure.
🔹 The market could be looking for a capitulation zone before bouncing back.
🔹 It’s not just BTC — ETH is also under structural warning.
What’s interesting 👀
The bank notes that this drop has been more orderly than in previous cycles… which could indicate a more mature market, but still vulnerable.
🎯 What should traders watch for?
✔ Key BTC zone: $50K
✔ Deep supports in ETH
✔ ETF flow (liquidity rules)
✔ Fed decisions
✔ Risk management over FOMO
⚠️ When banks lower expectations, sentiment cools.
But historically… the biggest rebounds come from extreme fear.
Are we facing a capitulation phase… or the prelude to the next institutional accumulation? 🤔🔥
