Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said that the trajectory of spot Bitcoin ETFs could resemble the process that followed the launch of gold ETFs. According to Balchunas, Bitcoin (BTC) could experience a sharp pullback after a strong rally, followed by a prolonged recovery period that tests investor patience.
Balchunas pointed out that both gold and Bitcoin are stores of value that do not generate cash flow or regular returns. Therefore, demand for these assets is largely shaped by market sentiment, investor confidence, and macroeconomic conditions.
According to the analyst, while sentiment-driven demand can cause prices to rise rapidly in some periods, it can also lead to the market remaining flat for extended periods or experiencing sharp corrections.
Balchunas stated that Bitcoin ETFs could follow a similar scenario to gold ETFs, describing the process as “a dramatic rise, a painful pullback, and a recovery that could test investors’ patience.”
