Bitcoin corrects as US inflation data emerges — Is the rally to $100K at stake?

Bitcoin corrects as US inflation data emerges — Is the rally to 0K at stake?

Bitcoin’s correction reflects investors’ inflation concerns and highlights the potential impact of future US fiscal policies.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded down by 4.1% on Nov. 14 following US inflation data that marginally exceeded market expectations. This decline mirrored the S&P 500 index futures, which fell from 6,023 to 5,980 over four hours.

As a result, traders are now questioning the extent of this correlation and when Bitcoin’s inflation-hedging attributes might offer some protection in an environment of persistent inflation.

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

September 4, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

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

September 3, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

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.

Bitcoin price volatility expected at Fed September FOMC meeting — Here’s how to prepare

August 30, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Call

Bitcoin traders expect BTC to rally if the Fed rolls out a 0.50% rate cut, but hedging these bullish positions is also necessary. Here is how it's done.

Bitcoin (BTC) has repeatedly failed to close above the $62,000 level since Aug. 3 and is currently down 11% over the past 30 days. More notably, the cryptocurrency has decoupled from the S&P 500 index, which is up 1% in the same period and only 1% below its all-time high.

Investors expect that risk markets, including Bitcoin, could see significant gains if the Federal Reserve (Fed) cuts interest rates, and professional traders are using BTC options to maximize gains while limiting risks.

Bitcoin price keeps falling under $60K — Here is why

Bitcoin price keeps falling under K — Here is why

bonds

Many analysts say a drop in spot Bitcoin ETF demand is the primary reason for BTC’s price weakness, but there’s more to it than that.

Bitcoin (BTC) has struggled to maintain above $60,000 for an entire week, with the latest rejection occurring on Aug. 27. The subsequent 9.9% two-day correction, which saw Bitcoin fall to a low of $57,918 on Aug. 28, resulted in the forced liquidation of $143 million in leveraged BTC longs on derivatives exchanges. Traders are now questioning why Bitcoin keeps failing to break above $60,000.

Some analysts attribute the recent weakness to the disappointing spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflows. However, such data is typically reflexive, meaning traders often turn bearish after a news event alters their perception. More crucially, Bitcoin's most recent correction on Aug. 29 coincided with movements in the S&P 500 index.
