Analyst Exits USDT, Bets on Gold and Silver and Predicts When Will Bitcoin Bottom in 2026

A well-known crypto trader who goes by the name Dr Profit has shared a clear shift in his market positioning, moving away from stablecoins and toward traditional safe-haven assets. In a post on X, the analyst said he has transferred nearly all remaining USDT back into the banking system and reallocated that capital into gold and silver, citing expectations of a prolonged downturn in crypto markets. Dr Profit explained that he currently sees no benefit in holding liquidity in stablecoins. In his view, capital sitting in USDT is not productive while the broader market remains under pressure. Instead, he prefers exposure to precious metals, which he believes can preserve value and remain active while crypto markets work through a longer corrective phase. According to the analyst, his crypto exposure at this point is minimal. The only USDT still in play is tied to an open Bitcoin short position, entered between the $115,000 and $125,000 range. Alongside that short, he described his main holdings as large allocations to gold and silver.

In the last three months I have moved all the remaining USDT back into the bank system and bought Gold & Silver! Im absolutely not liquid at all as of now in crypto assets as the only remaining USDT assets are in the big short from 115-125k that is still open.

I see no reason at…

Dr Profit also outlined a longer-term outlook for Bitcoin that stands in contrast to more optimistic market narratives. He believes the current phase is not a short correction but part of a broader bear market structure. Based on his analysis, he expects Bitcoin to form a major bottom between September and October 2026. Until then, he does not see value in maintaining idle crypto liquidity. Despite this longer-term bearish stance, the analyst acknowledged that short-term price movements can still occur within broader downtrends. He said Bitcoin is trading inside a wide consolidation range and that a temporary upside move remains possible. As a result, he disclosed holding a medium-sized Bitcoin position bought near the $85,000 area, with the intention of selling into a rebound rather than holding through the next decline. Dr Profit described a scenario where Bitcoin could push higher in the short term, potentially toward the $107,000 area, before resuming its downward trajectory later in the first quarter. That tactical position, however, does not change his broader view that the market needs more time before reaching a durable low. The shift toward metals reflects a more defensive approach to capital management. By rotating funds into gold and silver, the analyst is positioning for stability rather than growth, while maintaining exposure to downside moves in Bitcoin through his short. He views this combination as a way to stay active across markets without relying on a crypto recovery that he believes remains distant. As always, such views reflect one trader’s framework rather than a consensus outlook. Markets can move against expectations, and timing cycles remains uncertain.
