Bitcoin Skeptic Peter Schiff Speaks Out After Today’s BTC Rally: “Dead Cat Bounce”

After Bitcoin’s price surged during the day, approaching the $74,000 level, investor and economist Peter Schiff, long known for his anti-Bitcoin views, offered his assessment of the recent market movements.

Schiff argued that the rise in Bitcoin did not signal a permanent trend reversal, suggesting it was merely a temporary reaction. The renowned economist described the movement in Bitcoin as a “dead cat bounce,” while also suggesting that the simultaneous pullback in gold prices could be a misleading signal for investors. According to Schiff, some investors misinterpreted these developments, buying Bitcoin and selling gold.

Schiff noted that experienced investors follow a different strategy, describing them as “smart money” investors who view rises in BTC as selling opportunities and pullbacks in gold as buying opportunities. Schiff argued that a more sensible approach for investors might be to sell on Bitcoin rallies and buy on gold rallies.

Schiff also shared his views on the US economy in his statements. Recalling that the economy grew by 2.1% in 2025, the first year of US President Donald Trump’s term, Schiff argued that this was below the growth rates of the previous administration. According to Schiff, while growth was at 2.8% in 2024, the performance in 2025 was weaker.
