Bitcoin 'Should Dump To 45K,' Trader Says: 'The Day Capo Goes Bullish Is The Day We Top'

Zinger Key Points
  • Notorious bearish trader Capo doubled down on a $45K Bitcoin call, right before the largest crypto blasted through resistance.
  • While some show concern for Capo, technical analysts remain bullish, recalling similar periods in 2021's bull run.

Pseudonymous trader Capo of Crypto, notorious for making consistent bearish predictions, doubled down on another bearish call — much to the amusement of social media.

What Happened: A screenshot from the trader's Telegram group shows a prediction calling for Bitcoin to "dump" to $45,000:

Coincidentally, the call came hours before Bitcoin BTC/USD blasted through its previous resistance of $53,000 for a 12% daily gain. 

Capo has gained notoriety for being a "perma bear," a permanently bearish trader. On Feb. 12, Capo expected a rejection from the $50,000 level for Bitcoin, while on Dec. 22, 2023, he saw Bitcoin forming a "local top" between $40,000 and $45,000. 

Capo is most infamous for his call from Nov. 28, 2022, where he predicted that "capitulation is a matter if time" and that Bitcoin should reach $12,000. "I won't post any more here until confirmation or invalidation," Capo vowed.

Why It Matters: Capo's latest call did not fail to entertain the cryptocurrency community:

"I am 100% sure the Day Capo goes Bullish is the day we top now," prophesized one pseudonymous trader.

Others have long concluded that Capo is the crypto equivalent of the "Inverse Cramer" phenomenon, asking to "send it higher" on his bearish prediction.

At least one trader seemed to show compassion, saying he is "genuinely worried capo is going to kill himself."  

Technical analysts are bullish on Bitcoin's further prospects.

Cold Blooded Shiller reminded his followers to follow the momentum and "throw away any logic" about overbought or extended conditions. He recalls similar conditions in 2021: "an 'overbought' indication for the market and we continued to trade +250% higher." 

With six-figure valuations among respected traders becoming more common by the day, perma-bears like Capo of Crypto could soon become an extinct species.
