- Bitcoin could experience an 80% decline due to liquidity risks.
- Risk stems from macroeconomic forces, not Bitcoin’s inherent flaws.
- Institutional Bitcoin holders face increased balance-sheet risks.
On-chain analyst Willy Woo warns Bitcoin could potentially crash 80% amid global economic downturns due to liquidity challenges, even after institutional adoption.
This possible crash highlights Bitcoin’s vulnerability to macroeconomic forces, affecting its stability and market perception despite inherent strengths.
Willy Woo, a leading Bitcoin analyst, highlights the impact of a global business cycle downturn. He suggests that Bitcoin will be tested akin to tech stocks or gold. Companies holding Bitcoin could be forced to sell in credit shocks.
Analysis and Predictions
The warning comes as inflows for Bitcoin and Ethereum have slowed, with models showing liquidity exhaustion. Historical data reflects similar drawdowns of 75%-85%, indicating risk for both Bitcoin and altcoins in liquidity shocks. Willy Woo emphasized, “Liquidity models flash red as Bitcoin trades above $122K, with fading capital inflows threatening the sustainability of 2025’s rally. … Another 80% correction in Bitcoin’s price remains probable, not because of weak fundamentals, but because of thinning global liquidity.”
