Analyst Dan Krupka Warns of Q4 Market Crash Despite Bitcoin's Recent Gains

Dan Krupka, founder of Connection Capital, warns that Bitcoin's recent move toward $86,000 is likely a liquidity trap rather than a market reversal. While he anticipates a potential short-term squeeze to $96,000 for Bitcoin, $3,300–$3,500 for Ethereum, and $140–$160 for Solana, he expects these gains to be followed by a sharp retracement. Krupka cites the US Dollar Index (DXY) and technical indicators as signs that the current rally is a final relief leg before a broader downturn heading into late 2026 and early 2027.
