The post Why the Crypto Market Is Going Down? Here Are the Top Reasons appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin’s downturn has left many puzzled. Recent insights from experts Austin Arnold and Mark Yusko might shed some light on the factors influencing this cryptocurrency’s unpredictable movement.
The Influence of Global Liquidity
Global liquidity plays a significant role in shaping Bitcoin’s trajectory. Mark Yusko emphasizes the importance of liquidity in driving market movements, especially in the digital realm. When thinking about Bitcoin’s worth, many consider its value in relation to the dollar or other national currencies, like the Argentine peso or the Turkish lira. Interestingly, while Bitcoin has been rising in these currencies due to their decline, its growth rate in dollars has slowed down.
Monetary Stimulus Impact
While the dollar value of Bitcoin seems to be where it should be, given the money supply changes, the lack of monetary stimulus is affecting its dynamics. Much of the economy’s stimulation now comes from fiscal activities. Despite large amounts of money being injected into the economy, many are not feeling optimistic about its state. The general sentiment is cautious, with most refraining from extravagant spending, pointing towards an economy that is neither booming nor entirely in recession.
Market Sentiments and Pressures
Bitcoin’s performance also seems tied to various market events, according to the experts. The recent euphoric news about BlackRock’s ETF application and Ripple’s victory against the SEC led to heightened expectations. However, the subsequent market depression after these events indicates that these could have been classic cases of buying on rumors and selling on news. Yusko suggests that influential insiders might deliberately push prices down to buy assets cheaper, contributing to short-term downward pressures.
The Anticipation of a Bitcoin ETF
A significant topic of discussion is the potential approval of a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Arnold says with deadlines approaching for decisions on ETF applications from companies like Bitwise and BlackRock, the approval could usher in an era of mass adoption for Bitcoin. An ETF could attract significant investments from the advisory industry, significantly impacting Bitcoin’s price, especially if it’s more than just a minimal percentage of their holdings.
