VALR CEO‘s Bullish Bitcoin Prediction Faces ’Short-Term Tests
Bitcoin price is consolidating after a shallow 1% day-on-day pullback, even as a bold macro prediction from Farzam Ehsani, CEO of VALR, draws attention. His thesis points to major upside once capital rotation shifts from precious metals. For now, Bitcoin must clear a few short-term pressure zones before that scenario can unfold. Why the VALR CEO Thinks Upside Is Delayed, Not Denied Ehsanis view centers on capital rotation rather than direct chart patterns. This is what he said in an exclusive bit to BeInCrypto: “Aggressive price growth in Bitcoin and Ethereum is likely to begin after the rally in precious metals fades,” he emphasized He ties Bitcoins sideways action directly to where global capital has gone: “Over the past year, gold prices have risen by 69%, while silver has surged by 161%… As a result, the upside momentum in the leading crypto assets has somewhat stalled,” he highlighted This relationship is visible in the data. Bitcoins short-term correlation with gold currently sits near −0.11, showing the two assets moving slightly in opposite directions. Capital chasing metals during geopolitical stress and tight liquidity has possibly reduced urgency in crypto.
