Will this year be any different?
Several factors contributed to the market’s latest downturn, including a general slump in the crypto-currency market following NVIDIA’s unexpected results, fears over upcoming US inflation data and other market disruptions such as the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov and ongoing Binance controversies.
These events triggered a major sell-off, wiping out $320 million in crypto assets and shifting market sentiment from greed to fear. Therefore, if similar factors occur, it could improve BTC’s price performance on the market this year.
Despite the historical trend of losses, some optimism remains, driven by potential interest rate cuts that could support the price. Technical indicators also suggest that a break of the $62,727 resistance level could lead to an uptrend. However, the market remains tense, as traders prepare for a potentially volatile month.
