Economist predicts a huge increase S&P 500 – What does Bitcoin do?

Economist and macro analyst Henrik Zeberg predicts that the S&P 500 can increase by more than 10% in the coming months. In an interview with the WTFinance podcast, Zeberg says that the markets look very good, especially in the short term. Then there should be a crash.

The top is yet to come

“I think the absolute peak is yet to come. You can see that at different markets around the world. There are even markets that have already reached an all-time high after everyone gave it up in April. We saw that coming at the time. Now we see the same,” said the economist.

According to Zeberg, we can expect an increase of 13% for the S&P 500 in 2025 from the current levels.

That is good news for the Bitcoin course, because the digital currency usually follows the price trend of the S&P 500. Investors still place Bitcoin in the same category as shares when they think about their portfolio.

In terms of properties, Bitcoin looks like gold, but still more on shares in terms of price behavior. Usually Bitcoin still has a difficult time if gold takes its moment on the market, for example at times of geopolitical unrest.

There is a recession

Although Zeberg is positive about the short term, he sees a recession coming. According to him, the economy starts to give signals of weakening.

“We are getting closer and closer to a recession. There are now more signals that the weakening continues (of the economy). It is mainly the housing market that is doing badly in the United States.

And we also see some signals in the real economy and the labor market. So I think that everything is slowly, as always, to hell down, “says a pessimistic Zeberg in the longer term.

How long the recession is to be delayed, he leaves a bit in the middle, but that is also difficult to predict. Yet it is not a gold rule that a bull market is always followed by a recession.

It is also possible that we get a longer period of erratic price trend.
