The macros helping Bitcoin
In recent times, some emerged markets have beefed up their monetary activities, attempting to prop up a fragile economy disrupted by the raging COVID-19 pandemic.
Such efforts had included EUR750 billion passed by the EU and trillions of dollars pending at the U.S congress, which, in part, is to stimulate global spending, thereby leading to inflationary concerns, as more money flows into an already over-bloated global momentary system.
Some of these funds have found their way into the crypto market, due to investors aggressively looking for high gains, as cheap money inflow hits record highs.
BTC holds a maximum supply of about 21 million digital coins of which there are about 18.5 million in circulation, while over 4 million BTCs have already been lost forever. These show that its definite supply protects the asset against value dilution as seen in inflationary assets like money.
Top Crypto researcher, Ryan Watkins, advised traders and investors on looking keenly at bitcoin’s price pattern, as bullish runs in crypto markets don’t just go up in a straight line, due to sell-offs along the way.
Even in bull markets cryptoassets don’t just go up in a straight line.
There will always be dumps along the way. Sometimes massive ones.
