Justin Bennett Predicts Inflation To Push Crypto Assets Higher In 2022

According to a leading crypto analyst Justin Bennett, inflation is likely to diminish going forward, but he project that it won’t be before investors who own risk assets see their portfolios rise in value.
The analyst shared with his 98.4K followers on Twitter followers that crypto assets, equities and commodities are likely to go up in dollar value, but eventually the inflation will diminish.
“I continue to think we see one last leg higher for risk assets in 2022 as inflation numbers start to tick lower later this year.
It’s an unpopular opinion, but that makes it all the more likely.”
Bennett shared a graphic from the New York Fed Survey of Consumer expectations, saying:
“But transitory inflation is just a meme, right?”
The analyst also refers to recent article by Reuters, noting that consumer inflation expectations have gone down for the first time in 16 months.
“It’s already starting…
‘One-year inflation expectations decreased for the first time since October 2020, dropping to a median of 5.8% in January from 6.0% in December, according to the New York Fed’s monthly survey of consumer expectations.’”
Bennett also looks into how Bitcoin (BTC) performs against the dollar index (DXY), which compares the USD to a basket of other fiat currencies. He points out that BTC and DXY seem to be reversely correlated.
“DXY matters for BTC.”
“If the DXY is going to make good on the bearish engulfing week from early February, this is where I’d expect it to start.
Above 97.30 is bullish. Below 95.13 is bearish.
We want the latter for cryptos to strengthen. Short-term target for BTC.”
Looking into Bitcoin and where it could be headed, Bennett looks the BTC price action from November last year, and says that a reclaim of $46,500 would send the leading crypto asset above $50,000 levels.
“BTC time to take out the yearly open at $46,200.”
At time of writing, BTC is trading sideways on the daily chart at $44,044.
