Is Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff finally going to be right for the first time in 16 years about Fed rate cuts? If you say the sky is falling until it happens, then you will say \u201cSee, I called it!!\u201d just like Schiff.<\/p>\n
Schiff took to X (formerly Twitter) to argue that BTC may be \u201ctopping out<\/a>\u201d instead of preparing for a breakout.<\/p>\n The Fed is about to make a major policy mistake by cutting interest rates into rising inflation. Gold and silver have broken out, with the rally finally confirmed by mining stocks leading the way. Yet instead of breaking out, Bitcoin is topping out. Time to change horses HODLers.<\/p>\n \u2014 Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) September 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Schiff emphasized that Bitcoin remains 15% below its 2021 peak when priced in gold<\/a>, a sign, in his view, that the asset lacks momentum compared to traditional hedges.<\/p>\n (Source: TradingView<\/a>)<\/p>\n Bitcoin faces near-term selling pressure ahead of the Federal Reserve\u2019s September 17 meeting, where a 25 basis point rate cut is broadly expected. The jury is out on whether the move is priced in, yet traders see the decision as a potential inflection point for risk assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n BTC is holding near $115,400 after failing to break through $116,000 resistance.<\/p>\n The divergence is clear: while the NASDAQ and S&P 500 hover at record highs<\/a> and gold pushes through new breakouts, Bitcoin has struggled to sustain rallies. The Bitcoin\/Gold ratio sits near 31.53 XAU, down 0.87%, underscoring Schiff\u2019s point about lagging performance.<\/p>\n Yet not everyone agrees.<\/p>\n \u201cI agree with you on Fed policy mistake. But you underestimate Bitcoin\u2026 It will most likely break out and make a lot bigger gains than gold and silver.\u201d \u2013 Crypto investor reply on X.<\/p>\n (Source: Newhedge<\/a>)<\/p>\n Schiff pushed back, countering that if this were \u201cjust consolidation,\u201d Bitcoin should already have broken out.<\/p>\n Futures positioning has turned slightly positive, with CoinGlass<\/a> reporting new inflows into Bitcoin derivatives ahead of the FOMC. Spot flows, however, remain negative as selling pressure dominates.<\/p>\n While Schiff\u2019s warnings dominate headlines, other analysts remain firmly bullish. Kraken\u2019s Dan Held noted that long-term demand dynamics favor upside, while market commentator Ted Pillows highlighted Bitcoin\u2019s supply-demand imbalance:<\/p>\n Rate cuts are generally bearish in the short term.<\/p>\n This is because the Fed usually cuts rates when the economy is in some turmoil.<\/p>\n Just take a look at US stock indices after 3 months of the first rate cut.<\/p>\n S&P 500: Flat<\/p>\n Nasdaq: Barely positive<\/p>\n Russell 1000 and Russell 2000:\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/en9hNubWML<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ted (@TedPillows) September 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n 99Bitcoins analysts argue Bitcoin must reclaim $114K as solid support to set up a sustained push toward $117K and beyond. Failure to do so risks trapping BTC in a sideways channel between $110K and $115K until the Fed delivers clearer forward guidance.<\/p>\n With the September rate cut almost guaranteed, Powell\u2019s tone will be the real catalyst. A dovish outlook could spark the breakout Schiff insists won\u2019t come.<\/p>\n EXPLORE: ETH USD Price Primed to Retest $4,700: Dark Money Rotating into Ethereum?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Is Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff finally going to be right for the first time in 16 years about Fed rate cuts? <\/p>\n Schiff pushed back, countering that if this were \u201cjust consolidation,\u201d Bitcoin should already have broken out. <\/p><\/div>\n The post Peter Schiff Warns Bitcoin Is \u201cTopping Out\u201d Ahead of Fed Rate Cuts<\/a> appeared first on 99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff finally going to be right for the first time in 16 years about Fed rate cuts?
