Bitcoin’s price has declined today amid uncertainty caused by the escalation of strikes between the US and Iran and its proxies. Crude oil prices now trade at least $99.13/barrel, adding to inflationary fears amid rising energy prices.
The US Federal Reserve remains undecided on interest-rate action, calling it a “challenging situation” driven by new inflationary shocks amid the conflict in the Middle East. The current US inflation rate is near 3%, well above the Fed’s 2% target.
Additionally, $16.38 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts expired on the Deribit exchange today, marking the largest single-day derivative settlements of the year.
As a result, sentiment turned bearish among institutions, with spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing net outflows of $306.44 million between March 26 and March 27.
According to market analyst Aksel Kibar, Bitcoin is mirroring previous bearish wedge patterns, indicating a possible downside move towards $52.5K.
Another analyst says a bottom will form once BTC drops towards $50K. For bullish investors, both predictions signal a great buying opportunity in the near future.
Goldman Sachs already calls a bottom, while gold permabull Peter Schiff criticizes the coin’s fall below its 2021 peak of $69K “despite record hype and so-called adoption.”
Developments in the US-Iran conflict this weekend are the key events to watch, along with the resulting energy prices and investor action.
