According to Mars Finance news, on January 27, Standard Chartered Bank analyst Geoffrey Kendrick suggested buying Bitcoin when it dips, as the cryptocurrency is facing increasing correlation pressure with the Nasdaq. "Bitcoin's correlation with the Nasdaq is still very strong, much higher than its correlation with gold," said Kendrick, head of foreign exchange and digital assets research at Standard Chartered Bank. Kendrick pointed out that Nasdaq futures fell 3%, affected by news related to DeepSeek, triggering a major overnight liquidation of cryptocurrencies, further strengthening the link between cryptocurrencies and the US tech stock sector. Kendrick said: "The risk now is that if the Nasdaq liquidation continues during US trading hours (and with Microsoft, Meta and Tesla earnings reports this Wednesday, as well as potentially disappointing FOMC meeting), we may be approaching other key levels for Bitcoin." He added: "Specifically, since the US election, the average purchase level of Bitcoin ETFs is now $96,400." Kendrick also discussed the crypto executive order issued by the Trump administration last week, which ordered a working group to assess the national digital asset reserve. He pointed out that this announcement has brought uncertainty to the market. Kendrick said: "I am disappointed in two aspects of this: 1. The term 'reserve' sounds more like confiscated assets than purchased assets. 2. The executive order has been issued, and any further clarification or action will require going through Congress, which may take some time." Kendrick said: "The 'despair/confusion' phase and the 'hope' phase have ended, reducing the risk in the Bitcoin market." He believes the next phase will be "buy the dip". Last week, Kendrick outlined three phases: "when hope disappears", "buy the dip", and "Altcoin alpha". In the second phase, he predicted that institutional capital will dominate the market, and reiterated Standard Chartered Bank's price target of $200,000 for Bitcoin and $10,000 for Ethereum, which are expected to be achieved by the end of this year.
