Bitfinex Predicts Bitcoin Could Drop to $40,000 Amid September Rate Cut Uncertainty
Bitfinex’s latest analysis suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) prices might experience a significant decline in September, possibly falling to $40,000.
The exchange warns that a rate cut this month could lead to a 15-20% drop in Bitcoin’s value, projecting a potential low range between $40,000 and $50,000. This forecast is grounded in historical patterns where cycle peaks in returns have decreased by 60-70% and typical bull market corrections have also diminished.
Currently priced at $57,701, a drop to $40,000 would represent a 30% decrease for Bitcoin. Bitfinex notes that September has historically been a challenging month for Bitcoin, marked by high volatility and poor performance.

The research also highlights that Bitcoin’s price is likely to be influenced by central bank policies and broader financial market trends.
The exchange anticipates that any “sell-the-news” reaction to a rate cut could create both risks and opportunities for traders, as Bitcoin’s price movements continue to align closely with global economic conditions and traditional risk assets like the S&P 500.
