Bitcoin and altcoins experienced another drop today after a short-term recovery. Bitcoin, which reached 114k dollars yesterday, fell below 111k 500 dollars in the morning hours coinciding with the Asian session. Losses were even greater in altcoins, especially Ether.
The markets are waiting for two important data points.
This wave of selling in the cryptocurrency market is observed as critical economic data approaches that will shape the interest rate policy of the American central bank, the Fed. The markets are awaiting the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data today, and tomorrow the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE), which is the inflation indicator that the Fed places the most importance on, will be announced. The data could be decisive in determining whether the Fed will accelerate or slow down its interest rate cuts. According to CME FedWatch, the current market pricing indicates that the Fed will lower its interest rate to the 3.5 - 4 percent range by the end of 2025.
Whale sales gained momentum
On the other hand, investments made in (ETF) for exchange-traded funds have also weakened recently. Despite Bitcoin spot ETFs receiving a net investment of 241 million dollars yesterday, they are down 225 million dollars on a weekly basis. It is estimated that the sales made by some large investors have also contributed to the decline of Bitcoin. Blockchain data shows that the sales of this group have gained momentum and reached the fastest phase of the cycle.
According to experts, it will be critical whether Bitcoin can hold at the support of 111 thousand dollars and ETH at 4 thousand dollars in the short term. As of 12:45, Bitcoin is finding buyers at 111 thousand 800 dollars, while Ether is at 4 thousand 35 dollars.
