Is Bitcoin facing a choppy phase ahead of a more significant breakout? According to 42 Macro founder Darius Dale, a contraction in funding liquidity might trigger near-term market fluctuations. However, he suggests that if liquidity rebounds in 2027—an outcome he considers more probable than not—Bitcoin could break upward over the subsequent 12 to 18 months. Dale also outlines the case for allocating a portion of a portfolio to Bitcoin, noting that it offers exposure distinct from both equities and gold.
