Bitcoin had another rough Thursday. One crypto analyst on X says he has never been more sure of what comes next.
CF, a crypto analyst who posts under the handle @fergalpha, wrote that the bottom is in for Bitcoin. He says crypto "is going to shock everyone this cycle."
He says he has put his "entire life, 10yrs worth of research & entire net worth on this moment."
The timing stands out. Bitcoin traded near $71,946 at 16:09 UTC on Nov. 12, down 2.91% over 24 hours, according to Decibel.
Risk appetite took a hit the same day. Nvidia, the chipmaker at the center of the AI boom, said CEO Jensen Huang resigned, effective immediately. CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim chief.
Investors have also been pulling money from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, funds that hold Bitcoin and trade like stocks.
They saw $299.9 million in outflows on Nov. 11, according to SoSoValue data. That's the fifth straight day, with about $1.44 billion leaving since Nov. 5.

CF doesn't name a price target. Instead, he lists the forces he's watching.
They include the business cycle, the broad pattern of economic growth and slowdown. He also points to the U.S. dollar, President Donald Trump's policies and what he calls stimulus "coming after years of prolonged draining."
His list goes on: metals, a new Federal Reserve chair and rising institutional interest in crypto. He also cites the CLARITY Act, a bill meant to set clearer rules for U.S. crypto markets.
"Understand that, and you beat 95% of investors," he wrote.
He also says retail investors are selling to "big money," and that "the masses do not see this."
The crypto analyst's post is a conviction call, not a forecast backed by numbers.
He doesn't say how much his net worth is, how he's positioned or what timeline he expects.
The post also ends with a pitch for followers, warning readers they'll regret it if they haven't followed him.
Bitcoin has seen deep drops and big rebounds before.
Whether this dip turns out to be the bottom CF describes will only be clear in hindsight.
