Bitcoin Rebounds After Inflation Dip, Matt Hougan Predicts Major Altcoin Opportunity Ahead

-

After briefly dipping to just above $94,000 on Wednesday due to unexpectedly high U.S. inflation data, Bitcoin (BTC) has managed to recover, climbing back to $97,500.

The drop followed inflation figures that were stronger than anticipated, raising concerns in the financial markets.

However, Bitcoin demonstrated resilience, quickly reversing its decline and regaining momentum.

Federal Reserve Signals Inflation Progress

During his second day of testimony before Congress, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged that while the latest CPI data suggests progress, the central bank has not yet reached its inflation target.

His comments reflect the ongoing economic uncertainty that continues to influence the crypto market.

The Striking Contrast Between Investors

Matt Hougan recently highlighted a growing divide between institutional and retail investors in the crypto space.

In a note to his clients, he pointed out that institutional sentiment is more bullish than ever, while retail investors appear discouraged, particularly due to the lack of an “altcoin season.”

“Retail crypto loves to speculate on altcoins, and the absence of a major altcoin boom has them feeling hopeless,” Hougan explained.

He believes institutional investors are making the right move by focusing on Bitcoin, noting that ETFs and corporations have already purchased over 100,000 BTC this year.

Despite Bitcoin’s dominance, Hougan remains optimistic about the long-term potential of altcoins.

Altcoin Boom on the Horizon?

Although the current altcoin market lacks major new trends like DeFi or ICOs from previous cycles—aside from a short-lived memecoin surge—Hougan sees significant opportunity ahead.

With clearer regulations, a U.S. focus on stablecoins, and increasing institutional confidence, he predicts that decentralized finance (DeFi) will reach a broader audience.

“In a year or two, my guess is that you’re not going to have to squint to see the transformation in altcoins; the impact will be self-evident. And overwhelming,” he stated. “Retail sentiment is bad in crypto right now, and to me, that signals opportunity.”
