Squawk

Katie Stockton, founder of Fairlead Strategies, recently analyzed Bitcoin’s volatility in an interview with CNBC. She noted that Bitcoin has fallen below $55,000 for the first time since February, a significant drop coinciding with Mt. Gox’s announcement of starting repayments, a decade after its bankruptcy. Stockton also highlighted Bitcoin’s correlation with risky assets, particularly the NASDAQ 100. 
According to Stockton, Bitcoin has breached critical support levels, with $60,000 as a crucial threshold now surpassed. She suggests potential further drops to around $51,500. Despite this, Stockton remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future, advising investors to maintain a small percentage of their portfolio in Bitcoin as a long-term investment.

 "Bitcoin has broken some support suggesting we may see a trading range to the downside, but the trend long-term is still to the upside," says Fairlead Strategies Founder Katie Stockton. <a href="https://t.co/wuTJapC4gV" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/wuTJapC4gV</a>— Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) <a href="https://twitter.com/SquawkCNBC/status/1810304346094973152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 8, 2024</a>

Stockton further explained the market conditions, noting that current market swings are mainly due to some mega-cap technologies like Apple, Meta, and Tesla, whose short-term breakouts have been observed. 
In the commodity market, Stockton pointed out positive technical indicators for crude oil and copper. She noted that crude oil is emerging from a triangle pattern, potentially signaling strength in energy stocks. Similarly, indications that copper prices have overcome downside pressures could be interpreted as a bullish signal. 
Despite anticipated volatility in the latter half of the year, Stockton predicts the market will maintain its uptrend. She also highlighted massive institutional investments into Bitcoin following the SEC’s approval of spot ETFs.&nbsp; 
This increasing institutional demand, according to Stockton, brings long-term bullishness for Bitcoin, which she believes outweighs its current price challenges.
