Bitcoin Plunges 21% From Peak As Analyst Warns Against Buying Dip

Bitcoin's 21% Price Correction Sparks Market Uncertainty as Standard Chartered Warns of Further Capitulation

  • Bitcoin has entered correction territory, falling 21% from its peak of $110,000 to $85,000.
  • Standard Chartered Bank analysts predict further market capitulation ahead despite temporary price stabilization.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs witnessed nearly $1 billion in outflows during the recent sell-off.
  • Market sentiment hinges on NVIDIA‘s upcoming earnings report and potential Federal Reserve policy shifts.
  • Economic uncertainties, including inflation concerns and Donald Trump‘s trade policies, continue to impact crypto markets.

Bitcoin’s recent price correction has triggered significant market uncertainty, with analysts warning investors against hasty purchases despite the cryptocurrency finding temporary support around $85,000. The 21% decline from all-time highs has coincided with broader economic concerns and institutional investment outflows.

Geoff Kendrick, head of crypto research at Standard Chartered Bank, provided a sobering outlook: “I still think the big capitulation is yet to come.” This warning comes as bitcoin-backing U.S. senator Cynthia Lummis prepares to introduce major legislation updates that could affect market dynamics.

The cryptocurrency market’s correlation with traditional financial markets has become increasingly apparent, as evidenced by the parallel slowdown in both sectors. The launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, while initially celebrated as a milestone for institutional adoption, has experienced turbulence with approximately $1 billion in outflows during the recent market correction.

Bitfinex analysts emphasized in their recent report that Bitcoin’s 90-day consolidation period places the asset at a critical juncture, with macroeconomic factors likely determining its next major move. The market’s sensitivity to traditional economic indicators has intensified, particularly as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell navigates challenging inflation data that has forced a pause in planned interest rate reductions.

Adding to market complexity, Matt Mena from 21Shares suggests that Nvidia’s forthcoming earnings report could serve as a crucial catalyst: “Nvidia’s earnings will be a major AI-driven catalyst, potentially lifting tech and crypto markets.”
