Overall, the big top tokens have lost a significant amount of ground in the recent 24 hours, and this is what experts have to say about this.
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin told Business Today, “ The upward momentum for Bitcoin was slightly restricted due to the broader sell-off in the Asian and the US markets.”
Speaking about what might be the overview of the crypto markets in the near future, he said, “ The much-needed relief in the crypto market will come from the inflation cooling off and the Fed relaxing the monetary policy and interest rates.”
He also added, “ It is important to note that the U.S. will release a consumer price index will be released on coming Friday which will be a litmus test for Fed’s strategy to tame inflation.”
When asked about cryptocurrencies apart from Bitcoin, Thakral said, “Altcoins like Solana, Cardano, and Matic witnessed double-digit gains during the day trade which contributed to the large inflow of funds into the crypto ecosystem.”
The CoinDCX Research Team told Business Today, “Crypto endured a choppy session, with bitcoin climbing to highs of $31,700 before shedding 7.2% to lows of $29,400. The ‘buy the dip’ sentiment continues to be strong, where addresses with a balance of more than 1 BTC climbed to an all-time high of 849,000 amidst a relatively flat price action.”
When asked about what this might indicate, he said, “ These can potentially imply that there are more people HODLing and looking to accumulate crypto, likely using BTC as a store of value and inflation hedge for the long-term, as opposed to short term speculation.”
Finally, speaking about their expectations from the markets, they said, “Despite the general weakness in the markets, we remain optimistic on a resumption of the bull market, provided the macroeconomic picture improves significantly for the better.”
