Analysts Fear a Strong US Dollar Will Dampen Bitcoin’s Bullish Momentum

Bitcoin and gold price dropped as the U.S. Dollar Index rallied, leading analysts to speculate whether a strong dollar will slow BTC’s momentum.

On Aug 21, Bitcoin (BTC) price declined by more than 3% from around $11,880 to $11,511 on Coinbase.

 Coincidentally, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) started to rebound from its 4-month downturn.

As the dollar increased by 1.3% from $92.28 to $93.20, Bitcoin, major cryptocurrencies, and gold fell in tandem.

 The seemingly inverse correlation between the dollar and Bitcoin might indicate that the weakening dollar partially catalyzed BTC’s recent rally.

Will a strong dollar rally reverse Bitcoin’s momentum? 

Since the major Black Thursday Bitcoin correction, analysts have attributed the current BTC rally to the fading dollar.

Contrarily, when the dollar reverses and begins to rally, the chances of a Bitcoin consolidation phase could rise.

In the last 48 hours, as the US Dollar Index climbed, the price of gold also slumped by more than 3.5%.

 Gold had been rallying strongly in recent weeks, buoyed by the rising uncertainty around the global economy.

 

As such, Scott Melker, a cryptocurrency trader, said that the inverse relationship between Bitcoin and the dollar is more compelling than its recent correlation with the stock market.

 He noted:

“Bitcoin’s inverse relationship with the dollar is far more compelling than the idea that it is correlated with the stock market.”

The dollar has underperformed against major reserve currencies like the Japanese yen since April and analysts anticipate that if it can sustain its strong momentum gold and the U.S. dollar will be negatively impacted.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
