Bitcoin futures markets may still be overheated, and a hotter-than-expected CPI could trigger further drawdowns, Steno said.
Bitcoin (BTC) holders should brace for more selloffs as rising US prices create an increasingly unfavorable macroeconomic backdrop for risky assets, Steno Research said in a Jan. 13 report.
Since mid-December, Bitcoin’s spot price has declined roughly 10%, dropping from all-time highs of around $106,000 to around $96,000 as of Jan. 14. Steno said this trend may continue, with BTC dropping to as low as $85,000 per coin.
The cryptocurrency’s sell-off largely reflects “ongoing repricing driven by an unfavorable macroeconomic environment, with inflation once again taking center stage,” Steno said.
