 <p>Weakness in the macro markets continues to persist. After having a thunderous July on the back of optimistic earnings reports, the stock market started retracing. In fact, the SPX is on the verge of creating a new 22-year-old bearish milestone. Bitcoin and the broader <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> market are more or less following suit. However, experts believe that <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> will end up outperforming <a rel="dofollow" title="Stocks" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stocks.html">Stocks</a>.</p> 
 <p>In a recent AMA session on YouTube, former <a rel="dofollow" title="Goldman Sachs" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/goldman-sachs.html">Goldman Sachs</a> executive and Real Vision CEO <a rel="dofollow" title="Raoul Pal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/raoul-pal.html">Raoul Pal</a> explained that in the digital world, where anything could theoretically be inflated to infinity, blockchain-enabled scarcity. He pointed out that the <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> market cycles were “much bigger” than the tech stock cycles. Pal added,</p> 
 <p><strong>“[Crypto is] a technology you can participate in directly. Crypto cycles can be much, much bigger because you’re actually owning the network itself. That’s why it’s so powerful [and] it tends to outperform the other technology stuff.”</strong></p>

 <p>Further explaining his thesis, he said that when it comes to AI, the only thing that investors can do is buy <a rel="dofollow" title="Stocks" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stocks.html">Stocks</a> like Nvidia, Microsoft, etc. Buying a share in trillion-dollar companies would fetch investors returns, but when compared to <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> assets, their ROI would be comparatively insignificant.</p>

 <p>In a recent blogpost, Pal charted out a couple of interesting scenarios. Bitcoin’s 30-day historical volatility has dropped below 20 for the first time since January 2023. This level has always helped the asset produce ”huge moves” in the 2-4 month window. Revealing how Bitcoin has reacted to similar situations in the past, the blog post revealed,</p>

 <p>The Bitcoin market is currently experiencing a volatility deficit. The price of the asset has stagnated around $26,000. Owing to the absence of a directional bias, traders have been waiting on the sidelines without participating in the market proceedings. Pal pointed out that Bitcoin’s Bollinger Bands are currently the ”tightest” on record. Revealing how Bitcoin reacted the last time it was in a similar position, Pal wrote,</p>
