Crypto Market Stagnant, Investors Are Still Anxious About Global Economy

Purebun.com – Crypto Market Stagnant, Investors Are Still Anxious About Global Economy.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin managed to trade slightly above USD 31,200 or around IDR 451.5 million on Wednesday (8/6/2022). Almost flat for the previous 24 hours but up from an interim position below USD 29,300 in Tuesday afternoon trade.

Bitcoin continues to trade in a choppy price range amid widespread investor anxiety about inflation, geopolitical turmoil and the global economy.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency recently fell more than 1 percent, trading just above the $1,800 level. The other major altcoins are mixed with more than 7 percent SOL. Overall, the crypto market sentiment is still bearish.

Web protocol Autonomous Network 3 CEO James Key said the market is continuing its long-term downtrend, but recent crypto-friendly laws in the US are providing short-term support.

“Because they proposed eliminating the (Security and Exchange Commission) which is notoriously too broad in terms of their jurisdiction over crypto,” Key said.

However, investors had much to worry about on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. The World Bank raised its 2022 forecast for global economic growth to 2.9 percent from 4.1 percent predicted in January.

Crypto Market Prediction Analyst Still Sluggish

Many analysts expect the crypto bear market to deteriorate in the near term, and Key noted bitcoin’s previous cycle of declines has bottomed out after an 85 percent decline in value over at least an 18-month period.

The market has now lost nearly 60 percent of its value since hitting an all-time high last November.

“I really doubt this is the basis. Moreover, the previous cycles were all in the long term equity bull market, whereas that was not true for the first time. When institutional investors eliminate risk, risk assets such as cryptocurrencies are the first to be sold, which suggests this has the potential to be a worse bear market,” said Key.

World Bank Group President David Malpass called the “risk” of stagflation a considerable “risk”. Later in the day, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told the Senate Finance Committee she expected inflation to remain high and less than three weeks after posting disappointing first-quarter results.

This warns investors that profits will fall due to changes in consumer behavior that have created an imbalance in investment.

On the other hand, the US stock market has been swinging up and down in recent days as investors digest some of the shared tidbits versus the recent bad news. Stocks rose on Tuesday with the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average all up more than a percentage point.
