The post Investor Chris Burniske Warns of Crypto Shakedown Event, Says Market Entering Period of Increasing Frenzy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Venture capitalist Chris Burniske thinks crypto has more time before the market witnesses a deep deleveraging event. The crypto veteran tells his 312,000 followers on the social media platform X that he thinks the inauguration day of President-elect Donald Trump will be a sell-on-news event. But Burniske clarifies that his expected correction on January 20th will likely not mark the end of the crypto bull market. “Dream the post-election dream now, shakedown after. Inauguration makes most sense as reality can never match the dream. But that shakedown won’t be the end, though it will scare paper hands into believing it is.” In November of 2022 just as Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto were carving a cycle bottom, Burniske predicted that the total market cap of digital assets would soar to $10 trillion this cycle. But now, the investor says that his massive price target will likely not be hit, at least in this cycle. “People won’t like me saying this, but if $10 trillion is the round number target, then we likely fall short of it this cycle. It was a good rallying cry from a capitulation bottom and will prove directionally correct this cycle, only to be exceeded with time. That said, as we enter a period of increasing frenzy, where dreams grow larger by the day, and bull market geniuses abound, it’s important to be realistic. For example, $100,000 and $10,000 calls for BTC and ETH were everywhere in 2021, and we capped out at ~$70,000 and ~$5,000 respectively back then, with BTC only now reaching that target – lesson in there… Sure HODL (hold on for dear life) some coin forever, but also take profits in frenzies and live your life. Time is more precious than even BTC. Never aim for perfection, or you’ll always miss.” At time…
