Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency in market capitalization and dominance, slipped below $33,400 on Monday. It has wiped over half of the investors\u2019 wealth, having hit its lifetime peak of $67,566 in November 2021.<\/p>\n

According to experts, the rising interest rates, the anticipation of a sluggish global economy, global economic crisis, inflationary worries, and risk aversion are some of the factors pushing the Bitcoin price lower.<\/p>\n

This fall is not exclusive to Bitcoin. Ethereum, which is the second-largest cryptocurrency, also recorded a 5% drop from the start of the weekend, reaching $2,440.<\/p>\n

Since Friday, Bitcoin price has broken below its three-month upward trend line, falling out of the $35,000 to $46,000 range it has maintained in the first few months of 2022. \u00a0Experts are now warning that the fall in Bitcoin price could be the start of a new trend as Bitcoin value almost hits the lowest value it has recorded since July 2021.<\/p>\n

Edul Patel, the CEO of Mudrex, a cryptocurrency investment platform, has said, \u201cThe downward trend is likely to continue for the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vikram Subburaj, the CEO of Giottus crypto exchange, has stated that Bitcoin and the entire crypto market have been affected by the negative sentiments from investor groups.<\/p>\n

While addressing Fortune, Lucas Outumuro, the head of research at IntoTheBlock, said that \u201cuntil the market starts looking past the impact that [quantitative tightening] and raising rates will have, I find it difficult for Bitcoin to establish a broader uptrend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin, the largest crypto asset, has a market cap of $635 billion and has recorded a 13% increase in trading volume as over $37.26 billion Bitcoins were traded over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrency has dropped by more than 50% to $1.51 trillion from $3.15 trillion when the market was in full swing in late 2021.<\/p>\n

However, despite the fall in Bitcoin price, the cryptocurrency has increased its dominance in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin\u2019s dominance currently stands at 41.64 percent, up from 36-38 percent at the peak.<\/p>\n

This is a signal that altcoins have fallen more than Bitcoin. Data from Coinmarketcap suggests that Bitcoin has fallen by about 15 percent on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

Market experts have stated that the recent mayhem in technology stocks has caused a drop in cryptocurrency value. Tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has dropped by about 25% in 2022.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin recorded a significant drop over the past week after a rise in interest rates. This is an indication that cryptocurrency investors and institutions have paused a bit.<\/p>\n

Darshan Bathija, the chief executive of Singapore-based crypto exchange Vauld, told Bloomberg, “In light of fears of rising inflation, most investors have taken a risk-off approach\u2014selling stocks and cryptos alike in order to cut down risk.”<\/p>\n

Last week, central banks across different countries in the world, including the US, UK, India, and Australia raised interest rates in a bid to tackle the rising prices.<\/p>\n

The US Federal Reserve increased the key lending rate by half a percentage point, causing the highest rate hike in over 20 years. There are also worries among crypto investors over recession fears.<\/p>\n

According to Subburaj, there can be an extended consolidation period that can lead to Q3 2022, with Bitcoin retesting its 12-month lows below $30,000.<\/p>\n

“Investors will be better off to stack cash and wait for signals of a reversal before allocating fresh capital to crypto. Patience will be key. We anticipate a strong Q4 2022 for crypto assets,” he said.<\/p>\n
