The largest global cryptocurrency, Bitcoin in recent times faced one of its most stable phases after volatile months of price action. The market cap for Bitcoin (BTC) stands today at $167.83 billion, with $16.32 billion exchanged in the past 24 hours. The current spot price is down approx. 10 percent from its high of $10,400 in the year, but beyond 150 percent from lows of $3,858 in March 2020. However, BTC/USD price stays in the range at $9,000 as market sell-off grows. Besides Bitcoin, a stock market downturn may cause a crypto-market pullback due to its high correlation with stocks since March. Market participants’ unwillingness to partake in risk-on assets may potentially result in higher near-term panic selling on the BTC. The latest release of Bitcoin’s S2FX price model on July 1 reveals that Bitcoin (BTC) may struggle to hit $10,000, but its growth is well on the path as needed to continue the long-term bullish trajectory.
