Peter Schiff calls intense sell-off if Bitcoin drops under $38,000
Peter Schiff notes that over 70% of Bitcoin ETF buyers are underwater on their investment once BTC is under $54,000. Schiff believes that a decline to the $38,000 level would mean that 100% of Bitcoin ETF buyers will lose money.
Schiff expects the Bitcoin sell-off to intensify as most crypto ETF speculators shed their holdings and realize losses. Schiff says under $38,000, he expects “the real selling to start, as most crypto ETF speculators will throw in the towel for good.”
At $54K my guess is that over 70% of those who bought #BitcoinETFs are losing money. When #Bitcoin trades below $38K, 100% of Bitcoin ETF buyers will be losing money. That's when I expect the real selling to start, as most #crypto ETF speculators will throw in the towel for good.

Schiff argued that Gold has been a better asset than “everything since inception.” The stockbroker supports his argument by stating that,
Most people who bought Bitcoin are down. Almost everyone who bought Gold is up.
Bitcoin hit its lowest point since February 2024, erasing gains from the past four months. The asset swept $53,485 at its lowest point on Friday. Bitcoin trades at $56,834 at the time of writing.
