Gold advocate Peter Schiff said 
Bitcoin could crash to $16,500 if the market breaks below $50,000. In a post on X, the critic argued that Bitcoin’s decline would accelerate after that support level failed and said he expected the asset to revisit its 2022 bear-market low before the end of 2026. These are Schiff’s forecasts rather than established outcomes.
The CoinEdition report also highlighted that nearly $9 billion had left stablecoins. The supplied summary does not specify the measurement period, affected stablecoins or whether the outflows were directly connected to Bitcoin’s price decline, so the figures should not be treated as evidence of a common cause.
Bitcoin was trading at $64,104, down 6.18% over 24 hours and 15.27% over seven days. Its market capitalization stood at $1.29 trillion. The total crypto market capitalization was $2.23 trillion, with the broader market broadly lower and the Fear & Greed index at 10, labeled Extreme Fear.
Schiff’s proposed $50,000 trigger remained below Bitcoin’s reported live price, while his $16,500 forecast was far beneath that level. The attention now centers on whether Bitcoin can avoid the cited downside threshold as bearish sentiment and stablecoin outflows continue; the available information does not establish whether such conditions will materialize.
