Gold advocate Peter Schiff has doubled down on his bearish stance, arguing that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) are not in "correction" or "consolidation," but in full-fledged bear markets.
What Happened: In an X post, Schiff criticized CNBC for downplaying the declines, noting that Bitcoin's 21.6% and Ethereum's 38.3% drops from their highs clearly meet the definition of a bear market.
He accused the network of avoiding the term to appease crypto advertisers.
Tech entrepreneur Adam Barlam pushed back, pointing out that 25–30% pullbacks are normal in Bitcoin bull markets, suggesting such corrections don't invalidate the broader uptrend.
Schiff also warned that Trump's crypto allies could eventually push for a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" to support a potential bailout, something he believes would undermine the very idea of Bitcoin's financial independence.
He compared current market exuberance to the dot-com bubble, predicting that crypto and even AI sectors could face massive drawdowns when risk appetite fades.

Why It Matters: According to Glassnode, Bitcoin's price held relatively steady this week but failed to reclaim short-term holders' cost basis, signaling weak momentum.
Overall, analysts describe Bitcoin's structure as stable but fragile, a slow consolidation phase that could turn into a mild bear trend unless new liquidity inflows return.
