Market in the sea of ​​red, Bitcoin prices have seen dive at $ 80k

By Omkar Godbole (at all times and unless indicated otherwise)

The crypto market is a sea of ​​red, with bitcoin trading in three months lows under $ 88,000 and CoinDesk 20’s index drops more than 10% to 24 hours. There are many catalysts for Swoon, including sentimental at risk in the traditional market and influence from memecoins, especially recent trading in Trump and Libra.

Like us discussed Monday.

Another factor is President Donald Trump’s dislike. Although he has made significant lead-up promises in the election, concrete action is scarce. The expected strategic BTC reserve remains absent, and even state -level reserves prove to be challenged to implement.

“The industry is still waiting to show it in a tangible way in the form of steps like a mooted Bitcoin strategic reserve,” Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and CEO at Mercuryo in CoinDesk said. “Meanwhile, the emotion was hit by the biggest hack in the Bybit Exchange, which leaked 401,000 ETH, and a Memecoin sector struck by high-profile pumps and dump schemes.”

Finally, the revised concerns about the US economy are the demand for riskier assets.

“There have also been some concerns about slowing US growth since the release of US services of PMI last week, the lowest of 22 months and consistent with monitoring GDP growth at just 0.6%,” said the chief analyst of the Nansen’s research Aurelie Barthere. “Our Nansen Risk barometer is also risk-off from neutral today.”

Together, they sent BTC diving out of the two-month-old range playing between $ 90,000 and $ 110,000. The technical analysis theory suggests that it can drop to $ 70,000, although the maximum open interest in BTC placing options listed in the derivit is sitting in $ 80,000 strikes, indicating that this level can provide some support.

What could stabilize prices? Perhaps an announcement from Trump regarding a strategic reserve or a sharp reflection of NASDAQ 100. However, the index falls under the 50-day SMA, while the yen, a signal-preventive signal, continues which boosts against G7 currencies, including dollars.

The next major catalyst for risk assets were Nvidia’s revenues on February 26 and PCE’s main inflation on Feb. 28. Stay alert!

• The account then launched a memecoin, likely to be tricking undoubtedly entrepreneurs or bots in thinking it was legitimate because of the verification badge.
