The NYSE opened its trading floor. Bitcoin currently looks weak as the once-bustling marketplace is slowly experiencing loss of liquidity. BTC has lately seen prolonged dumping from the retail investors.
Factors that are affecting BTC negatively
- BTC is still perceived as a highly risky instrument. Its volatility can sometimes act as a double-edged sword. One day it reaches $10,000, and within the next few days, it reaches $4,500!
- The stock market, although risky, is not as much volatile as BTC. The proper stock-picking such as the Bluechip stocks, have a considerably lesser probability of decaying the wealth of the investors compared to Bitcoin.
- The improvement in the market sentiments will likely affect investment decisions. At the same time, the market conditions of BTC are getting worrisome.
Reports say that institutional investors are now controlling more than two-thirds of the newly mined Bitcoins. With the decentralized BTC getting accumulated in the hands of a few, the very foundation of decentralization might get defeated.
