Goldman Warns $80B Equity Selloff Threatens Bitcoin Stability

Goldman Sachs has warned that systematic funds could dump up to $80 billion in equities over the next month, threatening the stability of Bitcoin (BTC) and other macro-sensitive assets. According to Goldman's trading desk, trend-following funds known as Commodity Trading Advisers have already triggered sell signals in the S&P 500.

The bank estimates that roughly $33 billion in equities could be sold within a week if markets weaken further. However, Goldman's models suggest that as much as $80 billion in additional systematic selling could be triggered over the next month if the S&P 500 continues to decline or breaches key technical levels.

Market conditions are already fragile, with liquidity deteriorating and options positioning shifting in ways that may amplify price swings. Historically, large equity sell-offs have increased volatility across macro-sensitive assets, including crypto. Bitcoin has increasingly traded in line with broader risk sentiment during periods of liquidity stress.
