Bitcoin has crashed down to around $81,000, while Ethereum has hit a new low of $2,682 and shows no signs of recovery. Most likely, the bearish market will continue, so be extremely cautious with purchases under the current conditions.
The market decline was directly linked to a sharp risk-off sentiment due to a weak start to the earnings season in the US, which adversely affected the stock market. However, another important factor could influence market sentiment.
Currently, Kevin Warsh is considered the leading candidate for the Fed Chair position, which is a bearish factor for the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin. His potential candidacy has already raised concerns among crypto investors, and there are valid reasons for this.
Firstly, Warsh is perceived as a hawk—his rhetoric typically emphasizes inflation risks and the need for strict monetary discipline. This means that if appointed, the likelihood of a rapid easing of monetary policy, i.e., a rate cut, significantly decreases. Secondly, hawkish rhetoric generally leads to higher real interest rates and yields on government bonds. This, in turn, dampens appetite for risk assets like Bitcoin, as investors shift towards more conservative instruments with guaranteed returns. Higher interest rates make alternative investments, including cryptocurrencies, less attractive. Thirdly, Warsh is associated with a tighter liquidity policy. This implies a reduction in the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and, consequently, a decrease in the amount of cheap money in the economy. Such tightening of financial conditions typically negatively affects asset prices, including those of cryptocurrencies.
Finally, the very prospect of his appointment has already triggered risk-off sentiment in the market. Traders, fearing a more restrictive monetary policy, are starting to shed riskier assets, which creates additional pressure on Bitcoin. Thus, in the long term, Warsh's appointment could seriously affect the cryptocurrency market.
Today, Trump will announce his candidate to replace Powell, so new market volatility is inevitable.
As for intraday strategies in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act based on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating the continuation of the long-term bullish market, which has not disappeared.
