Analysts at Goldman Sachs, a leading global banking and investment management firm, have offered valuable insights into the anticipated effects of the forthcoming Bitcoin halving, on the price of the cryptocurrency. They emphasize that while the Bitcoin halving is a noteworthy event, other major factors will likely exert greater influence on Bitcoins future value. Bitcoin Halving To Play Lesser Role In BTCs Outlook In a note to clients, Goldman Sachs analysts have cautioned against reading too much into the past Bitcoin halving cycles and their impact on the cryptocurrency. Based on historical trends, the Bitcoin halving cycles tend to have a favorable effect on the value of Bitcoin, often triggering a bull run. The bank noted that whether the Bitcoin halving scheduled for April 20, becomes a buy the rumor, sell the news event, it would hold less significance for the cryptocurrencys medium-term outlook. They argue that the future performance of the pioneer cryptocurrency would be more heavily influenced by the supply and demand dynamics within the current market. Additionally, the analysts highlighted that the growing interest and demand for Spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) combined with the self-reflexive nature of the crypto market would be the primary contributing factor to Bitcoins price action and future outlook. Sharing a similar perspective, analysts at CryptoQuant disclosed earlier in April that the 2024 Bitcoin halving was no longer a primary catalyst for Bitcoins bullish surge. They highlighted that factors such as increasing demand from large-scale investors and diminishing supply were now the key drivers of Bitcoins upward momentum. Analysts Warn Of Macroeconomic Influence On New Halving Cycle Analysts at Goldman Sachs have predicted that macroeconomic factors such as inflation could have a significant influence on the upcoming Bitcoin halving event. Caution should be taken against extrapolating the past cycles and the impact of halving, given the respective prevailing macro conditions, Goldman Sachs analysts noted. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Dont Buy Altcoins Just Yet Heres Why Unlike previous halving cycles, the present economic conditions display high inflationary pressures and interest rates, which could cause the 2024 Bitcoin halving cycle to diverge from historical patterns. In other words, the analysts have suggested that for Bitcoins historical halving bull runs to occur, macro conditions need to be supportive of investor risk-taking. Currently, the United States faces challenges with high inflation, while interest rates stand above 5%. These conditions may exert pressure on Bitcoins market dynamics. However, despite the prevailing circumstances, many see the digital currency as a formidable inflation hedge and a beacon of hope against escalating inflationary pressures.

Crypto markets edged lower Monday following a stark warning from Goldman Sachs, which raised its 12-month US recession probability to 35%, citing rising tariffs, weakening growth, and deteriorating sentiment. The reassessment follows the firms second upward revision in March to its 2025 US tariff expectations, signaling an increasingly fraught macroeconomic environment with direct implications for risk assets including cryptocurrencies. In the note titled US Economics Analyst: A Further Increase in Our Tariff Assumptions, Goldman economists Alec Phillips, Tim Walker, and David Mericle outline their rationale: We now expect the average US tariff rate to rise 15pp in 2025 [] almost the entire revision reflects a more aggressive assumption for reciprocal tariffs. Goldman anticipates that President Trump will announce across-the-board reciprocal tariffs averaging 15% on April 2. Adjusted for product and country exclusions, the effective rise in average tariffs is expected to be around 9 percentage points. Related Reading: Crypto Market Cap Evolution Shows Diverging Trends Among Top Digital Asset The impact on the macro outlook is stark: Goldman has downgraded its 2025 US GDP growth forecast by 0.5pp to 1.0% (Q4/Q4), lifted its year end core PCE inflation forecast to 3.5% (+0.5pp), and increased its unemployment projection to 4.5% (+0.3pp). These revisions reflect a stagnating growth environment paired with inflationary pressures a combination that constrains monetary stimulus options. The bank attributes the rise in recession probability to three key factors: a lower growth baseline; deteriorating household and business confidence; and statements from White House officials indicating greater willingness to tolerate near-term economic weakness. Despite historically poor predictive power from sentiment measures, Goldman writes: We are less dismissive of the recent decline because economic fundamentals are not as strong as in prior years. Most importantly, real income growth has already slowed sharply and we expect it to average only 1.4% this year. Implications For Crypto While digital assets have long been viewed as uncorrelated to traditional macroeconomic variables, that narrative has evolved. Bitcoin, in particular, has become increasingly responsive to broader macro conditions particularly liquidity, risk sentiment, and real yields. Related Reading: Meltem Demirors On Crypto Rally: Are We So Back? Not So Fast As the yield curve inverts once again a classic recession signal macro analysts are warning of a unique policy dilemma. As @ecoinometrics noted on X: The yield curve is inverting again, a traditional recession signal. But unlike past cycles, the Fed is unlikely to rush to QE due to inflation concerns. This creates a double challenge for Bitcoin: potential risk-off pressure without the stimulus relief that typically follows. Bitcoin is very much driven by macro these days. It is behaving like a high-beta play on the NASDAQ 100. However, not everyone agrees that a recession poses a net-negative risk for crypto. In a recent interview, Robbie Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, offered a nuanced view of Bitcoins macro sensitivity: Economic fears. I mean, I don’t know if we have a recession or not, but a recession would be a big catalyst for Bitcoin [] It’s catalyzed by more fiscal spending and debt and deficit accumulation. That happens in a recession. It’s catalyzed by lower interest rates and monetary stimulus. That tends to happen in a recession. Mitchnick acknowledges the short-term constraints the wealth effect, reduced disposable income, and high correlations with equities but maintains that structurally, Bitcoin benefits from the long-term consequences of recessionary policy responses. Bitcoin is long liquidity in the system and to some extent over just fears of general social disorder [] that too, unfortunately, is something that can come up in a recession. He adds that current market reactions may not reflect Bitcoins true positioning: The market has almost, it seems, gotten this in some ways not particularly well calibrated but that’s where the opportunity comes in for education in a market and an asset class that’s still very nascent. At press time, BTC traded at $83,230. Featured image from iStock, chart from TradingView.com
