The crypto market may soon face a new type of bear market triggered by economic downturns. Analyst Willy Woo highlights that this type of market change is previously unknown in the crypto world. While previous cycles were characterized by Bitcoin halvings and the global M2 money supply, the next downturn could be determined by economic factors such as recessions.
Economic downturns, also known as recessions, are periods in which gross domestic product falls, unemployment rises, and consumer spending declines. These cycles have had a significant impact on traditional markets in the past, such as the 2001 dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. Both events resulted in significant declines in stock markets, raising the question of how cryptocurrencies will behave in similar situations.
A key issue is liquidity, which could be affected by economic downturns. Cryptocurrencies do not exist in a vacuum and are affected by the same economic forces that affect other markets. The question of whether Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies react like tech stocks or more like gold in an economic downturn remains open and could be crucial to future market stability.
There are currently no immediate signs of an impending recession, although the risk remains elevated. Trade tariffs and other economic factors have already slowed growth in the first half of 2025 and could continue to weigh on GDP growth in the first half of 2026. These developments could significantly impact the crypto market in the coming years and present new challenges for investors and analysts.
