Crypto Market Correction
For the last six weeks, the crypto market has been in a downtrend. The overall market cap of digital currencies has lost more than $1 trillion since 12 May 2021. Despite the latest jump in different crypto assets, traders remain uncertain about the future price action. According to the latest research note published by JPMorgan, the crypto market is healing but the overall situation is not looking healthy. Peter Schiff, the US-based economist, raised his concerns about the recent price action of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies .
“Most of the Bitcoin buyers who bought the last dip below $30K will not buy the next. The main buyers will be those who took profits on the bounce. Therefore, the next dip will not enjoy nearly as much support. New buyers will likely show up at $20K, but fewer than did at $30K,” Schiff said in a recent tweet.
