More investors to sell Bitcoin?
Altcoins are performing worse than Bitcoin in the current market crash, indicating a lower appetite for risk among crypto traders.
Experts say that a spike in the number of Bitcoins on exchanges has been noticed, indicating there might be further sell off of the top crypto.
“BTC’s price dropped below the $29,000 level, while ETH’s price slid below $2000 over the last day. Alongside this dip, data revealed a spike in the supply of Bitcoin on exchanges. Usually, investors send their Crypto holdings to exchanges with the intention of selling,” Darshan Bathija, CEO and Co-Founder of Vauld, told FE Online.

Explaining the reason behind current market crash, he said, “The effects of US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s latest comments on adding pressure and taking ‘aggressive’ measures to address inflation were seen in the markets. Just a day after his comments, S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes had dropped. As the traditional markets priced in the scenario, a risk-off sentiment took hold of the markets. Owing to BTC’s high correlation with the S&P, the cyryptomarkets slid down the charts, in lockstep with the equities markets.”
