<h3 id="why-bitcoin-is-dipping">Why Bitcoin is Dipping</h3>
<p>There has been a notable decrease in demand from long-term holders and large investors, often called “whales.” These influential players have significantly reduced their buying activity, impacting the market.</p>
<p>Bitcoin miners have also increased their selling activity. This is usually done to cover operational costs or capitalize on the price before it falls further, which can add to the selling pressure.</p>
<p>Market sentiment has also influenced Bitcoin’s dip. Hawkish fiscal policies and various macroeconomic factors, such as the potential for the US Federal Reserve to hike interest rates, have contributed to a bearish outlook among investors.</p>
<p>Technical indicators do not look favorable for Bitcoin, with the loss of crucial support levels and a bearish trend in the relative strength index (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/what-is-rsi-in-stocks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">RSI</a>) adding to the negative sentiment.</p>
<p>Historically, a significant retracement of up to 50% from the peak can be expected. In the currency cycle, this could mean the Bitcoin price dropping to potentially the mid $30,000 range.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
