Traditional Markets Caused Bitcoin to Stumble – Bearish Crypto Month

Traditional Markets Trigger Bitcoin's Decline Amid Bearish Crypto Month

Bitcoin's historical bearish tendency in September appears to be holding true this year. This morning, Bitcoin experienced a 4.46% drop. Despite briefly reaching $65,000 on August 24, its decline since August 26 suggests a prevalent bearish sentiment in September.

International Stock Market Influence

The primary catalyst for Bitcoin's morning decline lies in the losses suffered by major stock markets in the US and Asia. Prominent stocks faced declines of up to 10%. Stock indices such as the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 witnessed a drop of approximately 3.5%. Asian markets also experienced losses across stock indices, currencies, and commodities. Crypto markets typically follow the trend of traditional markets in such situations.

Bitcoin's Current Status

Bitcoin currently trades at $56,751, hovering above a support zone of $56,600. A failure to maintain this level could lead to a decline towards $54,000. The Fear and Greed Index indicates a bearish market sentiment with a reading of 27, while the RSI has dropped to 33.43, suggesting a decrease in bullish momentum.

Impact on Altcoins

Bitcoin's price drop has caused a decline in altcoins as well. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, fell by 6.07%, while BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin faced drops of 4.29%, 6.13%, and 3.75%, respectively. This follows the trend of altcoins following Bitcoin's price movements, resulting in a 4.67% decrease in the market cap of the entire crypto market, which now stands at $1.99 trillion.

Outlook

The timing of this decline at the beginning of September serves as a market signal indicating a potentially bearish month ahead, aligning with historical patterns. While investors are encouraged to exercise prudence, traders may seek opportunities for profit amid the volatility.
