Does Bitcoin’s negative funding rate signal that bears are in total control?

Bitcoin’s perpetual funding rate shows lack of confidence from bulls, but options markets are displaying resilience.

Bitcoin (BTC) price experienced a 2.2% correction on Sept. 11 following the release of US consumer inflation data, but it managed to reclaim the $56,500 level within a few hours. The movement closely tracked the S&P 500 index, which saw a 1.6% decline on Sept. 11 as US Consumer Price Index growth hit its lowest level in over three years.

Bitcoin traders are skeptical that the $58,000 resistance will be breached, given the increased demand for bearish positions using BTC futures contracts.

Why is Ethereum (ETH) price underperforming compared to the wider crypto market

Ether price continues to plunge as troubled investors worry about the lack of spot Ether inflows, declining Ethereum network fees and a potential tech stock bubble bursting.

Ether (ETH) price is down 5.2% between Sept. 3 and Sept. 4 after a strong rejection at the $2,550 resistance, marking eight days since ETH last closed above that level. 

Traders are now concerned that Ether may underperform even if the broader crypto bull market resumes, as incentives for fixed income in the US are expected to decrease. So, exactly what is putting pressure on Ether's price?

Some market participants may attribute the lackluster performance of cryptocurrencies to traditional financial market conditions, but Ether is also facing its own set of challenges, including lower network fees, appealing staking rewards, and weak demand for its recently launched spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) products. Therefore, it’s worth exploring whether these factors will continue to drive Ether’s price down in the future.

Bitcoin price loses traction as miner profits drop and spot BTC outflows persist

Bitcoin has lost more than 10% in the past two weeks as fear of a US recession, spot Bitcoin ETF outflows and the threat of miner capitulation grows.

Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped 10% over the 10 days ending on Sept. 3, falling from $64,190 to $57,800. This decline occurred despite the S&P 500 index being just 2% below its all-time high and gold trading only $50 away from its historical peak. While some cryptocurrency investors attribute Bitcoin’s dip to the broader macroeconomic environment, other factors are also pushing its price below $59,000.

Trader DamiDefi explains that Bitcoin has been influenced by recession concerns in the United States, but that trend is stabilizing as the focus shifts to “monetary policy and the US dollar’s performance.” The “bullish narrative” for Bitcoin going forward will hinge on the expectation of a “looser Federal Reserve policy, [...] such as lowering interest rates.” Essentially, traders anticipate that the US will be compelled to implement expansionary measures to stimulate the economy.
