Zacks and Stifel warn Bitcoin may tumble toward ~$40K (Stifel: ~$38K) as BTC hits 2025 lows

first published 2026-02-04T17:00:44Z

John Blank, chief equity strategist at Zacks, told CNBC that Bitcoin — down from an alleged peak near $125,000 to about $76,000 — could fall to roughly $40,000 (about half its recent value). He said Bitcoin “winners” typically last 12–18 months and predicted force selling and liquidations could push BTC to $40,000 either quickly or over the next 6–8 months. Blank also noted declining interest in the crypto trade despite ETF and stablecoin demand efforts, and said Robinhood is outperforming Coinbase.
