As <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-exchange-inflow-jumps-btc-price-drop-to-63000-likely/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> (BTC) struggles to maintain its momentum, with its price trading sideways for over three months, notable critic Peter Schiff has raised alarms about the potential market manipulation by hedge funds. According to Schiff, these financial giants may be engaging in trades that could affect Bitcoin’s stability and severely impact MicroStrategy’s financial standing.

<a href="https://coingape.com/peter-schiff-warns-bitcoin-etfs-no-savior-for-market-stability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Schiff </a>points to an unsettling pattern where, despite the constant influx of buying from 11 <a href="https://coingape.com/australia-spot-bitcoin-etf-to-start-trading-on-asx-stock-exchange/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Bitcoin ETF</a>s, Bitcoin’s value remains suppressed, signaling a possible orchestrated sell-off. This scenario leads to questions about the sellers in the market, particularly if these ETF investors start to pull back. Schiff suggests that hedge funds might buy Bitcoin and related ETFs strategically, not for long-term holding but as a maneuver to short-sell shares of Microstrategy, a company known for its hefty investments in Bitcoin.

 Hedge funds selling as they buy MSTR. They would be unwinding both sides of the spread.

This strategy could be setting the stage for a broader market shake-up. If hedge funds start to unwind their positions, they would initiate a cascade of sell orders for Bitcoin. This influx of sell orders would likely cause Bitcoin’s price to plummet. Such a decline would place additional pressure on <a href="https://coingape.com/microstrategy-receives-outperform-rating-btc-poised-to-hit-1m/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Microstrategy’</a>s stock, potentially leading to a downward spiral that could impact shareholders and the crypto market at large.

Current technical analysis supports the notion of an impending significant price movement in <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a>. The Bollinger Bands on Bitcoin’s 24-hour chart continue to tighten—a phenomenon typically indicative of upcoming volatility. Bitcoin’s price hovers near the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued.

Moreover, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator remains negative, underscoring a dominant bearish sentiment within the market. This indicator shows that bear forces push the price toward lower support levels. However, market participants remain alert for any momentum shifts that could signal a reversal. Such reversals are critical as they often precede major market movements and could indicate either a recovery or a further decline.
