BTC Will Fall Another 30% To $44,000, Prominent Miner Says

Jiang Zhuoer, one of China’s best-known bitcoins miners and founder of the LeBit mining pool predicted that the current bear market will bottom out in the fourth quarter at around $42,000-$44,000.

The forecast, made in Chinese on X, puts the low about 30% below bitcoin’s current level near $60,700 and rests less on the cryptocurrency’s performance than on Strategy, the largest corporate holder of the token, according to an automated translation.

Jiang analyzed the Strategy’s market net asset value (mNAV), the relationship between the company’s share price and the value per share of the bitcoin it holds, which has fallen to 0.72. A number above 1 means investors value the company at a premium to its bitcoin stack; below 1 means they value it at less.

Jiang’s numbers have the market price strategy about 28% below the bitcoin it owns, a sign of deep pessimism about the trade.

That reading is close to the 0.7 low Strategy hit on May 11, 2022, during the last bull-to-bear turn, he said, leading him to believe mNAV is near the floor of this cycle.
