The turbulent ride continues as BTC slips below the $58,000 mark, searching for a deeper bottom. The price recently dropped to $57,814, repeating the familiar pattern after each upward attempt. For seasoned investors, this scenario has become increasingly unsettling.
Why Is Bitcoin Dropping?
There are at least three significant reasons behind this decline. Firstly, short-term traders have taken control of the order books. These investors, who quickly sell at minor profits, have lost faith in the rally—at least temporarily. Market sentiment is at its lowest point in recent memory. Secondly, September has historically been a tough month for returns. Investors, recalling past years, have braced for new lows even before the month began.
Lastly, recent statements from the Bank of Japan indicate the possibility of further interest rate hikes. If Japan, after raising rates for the first time in 20 years, suggests that more increases are on the horizon, it spells bad news for risk assets.
Should BTC close below $57,130, we could see it establish new lows between $54,084 and $50,537.
