Bitcoin Falls Below $82,000 as Analysts Diverge on Recovery Path

Bitcoin dropped below $82,000 after two months of selling pressure, prompting divergent analyst forecasts. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes says the correction is nearing completion but advises waiting for U.S. equity markets to decline before entering positions. Macro analyst Raoul Pal characterizes the selloff as a typical mid-cycle correction, while veteran trader Peter Brandt projects a further decline to $58,000 before a multi-year recovery.
