After a rise last week, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency equities fell on the previous day of trading in September, but the cryptocurrency still had a successful month. The price of bitcoin last decreased by 3.7% to $63,451.12 after temporarily regaining the $ 65,000 mark last week. MicroStrategy dropped 4.3%, and Coinbase dropped 6.8% in cryptocurrency stocks.
In mid-afternoon trade on Monday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell alarmed investors by announcing that while additional rate reductions are on the agenda, the central bank does not have a set course of action. Ahead of the holiday season, investors are prepared for strikes that could rock the economy at terminals around the East and Gulf coasts after midnight on Monday.
Bitcoin Positive September
With bitcoin rising about 5% in the five days that ended on September 27 - as overall inflows into world crypto exchange-traded assets advanced to the highest point since mid-July - analysts have also cautioned about overbought circumstances.
Coinbase and MicroStrategy saw gains of 12% and 21% throughout the same time frame. Both stocks had 6% gains on Friday.
According to Bitwise-owned ETC Group, the total net buying volume of US bitcoin exchange-traded funds this week (16,774 BTC) surpassed the average supply of freshly produced bitcoin in a month. According to the company, this was mostly caused by the People's Bank of China's policy change.
With an 8% rise for the month, bitcoin is expected to conclude its best September ever and its second consecutive positive September, which is often the cryptocurrency's lowest month.
Future Estimation
Coinbase is headed for a 4% monthly rise but is down roughly 14% for the quarter. According to some observers, the downward trend will not change in the upcoming weeks. MicroStrategy, however, has increased by nearly 28% for the quarter and 33% for the month.
The market is anticipating a generally robust quarter for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
The story of Bitcoin is regularly challenged, with some arguing that it is a riskier asset or a store of value. However, at the moment, its connection with the S&P 500 is higher than that of gold, and investors anticipate that rate reductions, clarity after the US presidential election, and favorable seasonal and market conditions will all contribute to increased inflows into cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds.
