Renowned CNBC TV host Jim Cramer has once again expressed doubts about the future of Bitcoin, suggesting that it might be in for a significant drop. However, given Cramer’s track record of making inverse market predictions, some people consider his bearish outlook a potential signal for a new Bitcoin bull market.

In a recent episode of “Squawk on the Street,” Cramer announced that he’s avoiding Bitcoin, stating, “I can’t be in something where Mr. Bitcoin is about to go down big.” While the financial analyst didn’t provide explicit reasons for his bearish stance on Bitcoin, some speculate that his reference to “Mr. Bitcoin” might be related to the ongoing criminal trial of Sam Bankman-Fried in New York.
Cramer, who has a history of making inaccurate predictions, especially in the crypto market, has caught the attention of the crypto community. His recent bearish stance came as a stark contrast to the confidence that many in the crypto space have in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin enthusiast Michaël van de Poppe reacted swiftly to Cramer’s comments, stating, “The bull market begins.” Meanwhile, the Inverse Cramer tracker, known for generating investment results opposite the TV host’s recommendations, tweeted, “Congrats Bitcoin bulls.”
Furthermore, in contrast to Cramer’s reservations, hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones believes that both Bitcoin and gold are becoming more appealing investments. Jones has been buying Bitcoin since 2020 as a hedge against inflation and sees it as a valuable diversification option.
Cramer’s past negative projections about cryptocurrencies have often been proven wrong. For instance, in May, Nvidia’s stock defied Cramer’s bearish forecast, surging by an impressive 195% after he advised traders to short it. Cramer’s skepticism about crypto has similarly backfired in the past, including the CEO of Binance, poking fun at his inaccurate predictions.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $27,101, reflecting a 1.94% decrease in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
