There is chaos like never before in the Cryptocurrency market; it has crashed, and there seems no hope of recovery. Currently, the Bitcoin price stands at below $54,000, and the total market value has plunged below $2 trillion. If it were not an apocalypse, then this is what it looks like – an apocalypse for investors and enthusiasts still wondering if Crypto will ever rise again.
It’s been difficult days for many investors who are shocked since Goldman Sachs made a bold move predicting a possible US dollar collapse, which hangs like a dark cloud over them. This has been made worse by recent US jobs data that failed to meet expected standards, leading some people to start believing that we might be heading towards recession soon.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index now sits at 22, which indicates that it is all about ‘extreme fear’ now among those buying cryptocurrencies. Such complications can never be reduced to federal interest rates; rather, they are but one contributing factor among others surrounding the Crypto market’s fate.
It is well established that higher interest rates decrease liquidity within post-apocalypse investing, necessitating trade in alternative token trades more difficult for participants, especially because it seems like parking in downtown Los Angeles, for instance, brings problems – as everyone will tell you, it is like this. In turn, these more expensive money are forcing more conservative investors towards traditional assets, as opposed to positive volatilities of cryptocurrencies, which create uncertainties while playing on chance.
As the market struggles to recover from 24 hours of devastating losses, with Ethereum, BNB, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin prices plummeting by 5% to 10%, the situation is in utter chaos. The once-promising crypto market has turned into a nightmare, leaving many wondering if they’ll ever see their investments recover.
Surely, at this stage, what you would think is “Is this the death toll for crypto?” In my view, I would say no! The cryptocurrency market possesses durability, hence making it able to revive itself again.
However, some analysts argue that there might still be hope, to believe the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate cut may act as a ray of hope for cryptocurrencies in general.
According to Leena ElDeeb, who works with 21 Shares as its research analyst; she argues that lower rates could lead to better liquidity, potentially leading to Bitcoin prices even more vigorously than before.
