The correction of the Bitcoin worth on the finish of July is now over. Nevertheless, there are hypotheses suggesting the potential of triggering one other one.
For now, they’re solely hypotheses with out concrete confirmations, however such a situation certainly appears at the very least believable.
The development of the Bitcoin worth
After reaching new all-time highs in July, surpassing $120,000 for the primary time in its historical past, the worth of Bitcoin (BTC) had apparently consolidated round $118,000.
That stage, nonetheless, in the end didn’t maintain, because of the end-of-July correction that introduced it again beneath $115,000.
It should be mentioned that these are nonetheless fairly excessive figures, particularly when in comparison with the modest $70,000 previous to the Trump-trade of November, however it isn’t sure that they are going to maintain.
By now, since January 2023, there was an virtually steady progress, though not linear and alternating with intervals of sturdy correction.
This progress has occurred primarily in 4 phases, of which the final one continues to be ongoing and, to inform the reality, there are nonetheless no indicators of stopping.

The speculation of the brand new correction
The issue comes from afar.
At this second, actually, on the Bitcoin market, no indicators of issue are seen. Quite the opposite, the promoting strain, though it has barely elevated in current days, stays near the minimal ranges of this cycle, reached in mid-July.
It’s subsequently not an issue particularly associated to the development of Bitcoin’s worth, or the crypto markets, additionally as a result of in actuality Bitcoin is displaying numerous energy.
As an alternative, the standard inventory exchanges, particularly the USA ones, have proven some indicators of doable issue. For now, these are nonetheless simply indicators, however the speculation circulating is that there could possibly be a big correction, though maybe not sufficient to convey them into bear-market.
Within the occasion {that a} related situation materializes, it is vitally doubtless that the correction will find yourself affecting the crypto market as effectively, and subsequently additionally the worth of Bitcoin.
The function of the greenback
To all this should be added the truth that the US greenback nonetheless appears comparatively sturdy.
In actuality, in comparison with the start of the yr, the Greenback Index (DXY) has fallen considerably and continues to be very low, as it’s now round 99 factors whereas in January it was at 110. Nevertheless, over the course of the final month, it has risen from lower than 97 factors to greater than 100, after which maybe settled round 99 factors.
Within the quick time period, this isn’t having an affect on the worth of BTC, but it surely ought to be remembered that within the medium time period, the development of Bitcoin’s worth tends to be inversely correlated to that of the Greenback Index.
The purpose is that the downward development of the greenback that began on the finish of January may need additionally come to a halt on the finish of July, and if that have been the case, the situation of an additional correction within the worth of Bitcoin could be favored.

There are subsequently two exterior elements which are pushing for a further correction of BTC to be triggered, even when for now these pushes are proving ineffective.

The Fed
“`
The slight decline of the Greenback Index in current days, though very restricted, is because of the change in market opinion concerning the Fed’s financial coverage.
On the finish of July, the Fed not solely didn’t reduce rates of interest, but in addition indicated that the state of affairs didn’t appear to counsel a chance of a reduce in September (in August, the Fed committee that makes choices on charges is not going to meet).
On the primary of August, nonetheless, up to date knowledge concerning the US labor market was launched, outlining an image that’s clearly worsening, though nonetheless constructive in actuality.
In gentle of these knowledge, the markets have began to contemplate a charge reduce in September very doubtless.
In reality, the yield of American authorities bonds has barely decreased, and this has additionally brought on the Greenback Index to lower, whose development tends to be correlated with that of Treasury yields.
Nevertheless, by now the market is already pricing in a minimal charge reduce in September, subsequently this can be very troublesome for the Fed’s financial coverage to affect the worth development of Bitcoin within the medium-short time period.
It subsequently stays doable the situation talked about above, that no matter what the Fed will do in September, within the coming days or even weeks the worth of Bitcoin may additionally appropriate once more.
