Apple's Falling Market Cap Could Lead to 60%+ Bitcoin Price Drop, Analyst Warns

  • Apple's declining market cap could lead to a 60%+ drop in Bitcoin's price according to analyst Nicholas Merten.

  • Merten believes a crashing Apple market cap would drag down other equities and Bitcoin.

  • Apple fell from a $3 trillion market cap in July to $2.79 trillion currently.

  • If Apple's market cap declines to $1.5 trillion, Merten expects Bitcoin could fall to $10k-$12k.

  • Merten warns Apple's weighting means even small % declines impact stocks and crypto heavily.
