How to Read Bitcoin After The Price Drop

Bitcoin experienced a massive sell-off over the prior month, spurred on by uncertainty over adverse market conditions, scrutiny over products promising high yields such as Celsius and TerraUSD, and potential action by the Federal Reserve being considered to counteract rampant inflation in the United States Dollar. While the price drop may seem precipitous, over the long term Bitcoin has remained a strong competitor to the dollar, even in a bear market specific to digital assets.

TerraUSD and Luna Stablecoin Ecosystem Crash: What's Next?

Earlier this month, the price of the Luna digital asset crashed down to a fraction of a cent from a high over $77 over the span of a few short days. The asset had previously weathered a few bumps in the road and appeared to have a healthy ecosystem behind it, so the flash crash caught investors and onlookers off guard. The community is already conducting a sort of post-mortem analysis to determine what happened and how to potentially prevent it with other assets going forward.

Digital Assets Play a Role for Both Ukraine and Russia

On February 24, 2022, the Russian government invaded Ukraine, raising tensions to their highest point in the near decades-long dispute between the two countries. The world responded to the aggression with near-unanimous disapproval, and the United States and Europe levied harsh economic sanctions on Russia in response, removing much of Russia’s access to international banking systems. The invasion has placed a tremendous shock on the citizens of both countries, and digital assets have played a pivotal role in ensuring everyday individuals from both countries can continue to manage their day-to-day affairs.

Digital Asset Markets in Transition

Following their recent all time highs, Bitcoin and other digital assets have recently languished farther from them than most people would like. Global economic uncertainty continues as the Russo-Ukrainian crisis supplants COVID’s weakening grip on markets. Bitcoin’s behavior has slowly changed over time to correlate more closely with traditional investment assets, which may help provide a clue as to why prices have not yet recovered.

Supply Chain and Fiscal Policy Driving Inflation Woes

Although there is much reason for optimism on the pandemic front, the long-awaited shock of inflation has finally hit the market and investors and banks are struggling to digest it. A combination of fiscal policy and supply chain slowdowns have caused inflation to spike and while it was widely known it was going to arrive at some point, the impact was a bit heavier than expected with implications for both traditional banking as well as the digital asset sphere.
