2022 was not the very best 12 months for the cryptocurrency market if we glance again at it, and the primary cause was the macro scenario on conventional markets. With the rallying inflation, the monetary regulator within the U.S. had no different alternative however to condone a stricter financial coverage, suffocating each risk-on funding instrument and bringing crypto markets down. Michael Burry believes 2023 is not going to be any totally different.
In accordance with Burry, inflation has peaked, however it’s not the final peak of this complete cycle. Within the new 12 months, we’ll see CPI even decrease or probably destructive within the second half of 2023. Such a drastic drop will trigger the recession everybody was ready for final 12 months.
Inflation peaked. However it’s not the final peak of this cycle. We’re more likely to see CPI decrease, probably destructive in 2H 2023, and the US in recession by any definition. Fed will lower and authorities will stimulate. And we could have one other inflation spike. It is not laborious.

Sadly for cryptocurrency and different risk-on markets, Burry anticipates one other inflation spike. If the analyst is true, the market could have no different alternative however to face one other wave of strain due to a key price spike.
Wanting again at predictions of different conservative monetary analysts, it turns into clear that Burry will not be the one one who believes within the upcoming aggravation of the macroeconomic scenario within the monetary discipline. Sadly, the correlation between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin reached an absolute excessive in 2022, virtually making digital gold depending on the efficiency of the index.
Nevertheless, such a excessive correlation between the 2 devices mustn’t shock buyers. After 2021’s run, a major quantity of institutional buyers gained publicity to the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin particularly. As macroeconomic situations obtained worse for risk-on property, establishments started promoting their dangerous property, together with Bitcoin, creating monumental strain on the entire market.
