Bitcoin Faces Renewed Bearish Pressure Amid Market Divergence and Sell-Off
Recent reports indicate a challenging period for Bitcoin. Peter Schiff predicts continued divergence from traditional safe-havens like gold, while increased sell volume and bearish sentiment are pushing Bitcoin to retest critical support levels.
Bitcoin Under Pressure
Bitcoin has been experiencing downward pressure, with prominent critics like Peter Schiff forecasting a sustained divergence between the cryptocurrency and precious metals. This outlook suggests that Bitcoin may continue to underperform against assets like gold throughout the year, challenging its 'digital gold' narrative.
Adding to the bearish sentiment, the Bitcoin derivatives market has witnessed a significant surge in sell volume, totaling $1.8 billion. This intensifies market pressure, as investor confidence wanes and Bitcoin retests the crucial $63,000 price level amidst broader US tensions, signaling a renewed bearish turn in investor sentiment.
