In a recent interview, macro expert Raoul Pal opened up about the current state of the cryptocurrency market. Pal spoke about the intricacies of the current global economy, which has been experiencing a slowdown. He pointed out that this slowdown is expected for the current and upcoming quarters.
In an interview with Coin Bureau Clips, he highlighted that 2022 witnessed a correction, with crypto markets plummeting by as much as 80%. However, he believes that this fact has been largely forgotten by many. Despite this, Pal remains optimistic about the future.
Pal says the financial markets are forward-looking, signaling a positive outlook. The indicators suggest that economic growth will come back while inflation continues to decline. Although unemployment may increase slightly, this scenario resembles a “Goldilocks” scenario, with economic growth returning without significant inflation.
Pal attributed the strength of crypto markets and assets like the Nasdaq in 2023 to these forward-looking indicators. He expressed his optimism, referring to the current state of the crypto market as “Crypto Spring” and forecasting a transition to “Crypto Summer,” possibly in the first quarter of the following year.
When asked to define “Crypto Spring,” Pal likened it to a season of unpredictable weather, with periods of ups and downs. However, he emphasized that the market tends to trend upward over time. Despite occasional sideways trading and corrections, he highlighted gains in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana throughout the year.
The expert said, “Crypto spring comes after winter, and it’s after all the terrible news comes out. In terms of weather, one day it can snow, then it can rain, then it could be sunny, then it could be warm, then it could be cold again. It’s kind of a weird time, but over spring, generally, the weather gets better, and that’s what we see in crypto.”
