Bitcoin's Recovery Path Unclear Amidst Macro Headwinds
Bitcoin's price continues to fluctuate amidst an uncertain market environment. Despite flashing rare buy signals, the path to recovery remains unclear due to macro headwinds overwhelming historically reliable indicators.
Three key metrics are indicating a potential bottom in the market: Bitcoin's Sharpe ratio has dropped to -40, a level seen only four times since 2015; the USDT 60-day market cap has fallen below -$3B, signaling liquidity withdrawal and forced deleveraging; and cumulative altcoin sell pressure has hit -$209 billion.
However, some analysts are skeptical about the reliability of these indicators, pointing out that there are only a few historical occurrences to draw from. Jonatan Randin, senior market analyst at PrimeXBT, noted that 'the market can stay oversold far longer than most people expect, especially when the macro isn’t cooperating.'
