Crypto analyst BitQuant has commented on why market participants are not buying <\/span>Bitcoin and Ethereum<\/span><\/a> despite the recent lows. This comes amid current market weakness, with the on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant warning of a deeper decline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In an <\/span>X post<\/span><\/a>, BitQuant noted that no one, except Saylor\u2019s Strategy, is buying Bitcoin at $65,000 because of reports that the U.S. may attack Iran. He added that if that happens, many believe that <\/span>BTC will drop<\/span><\/a> to $50,000, which is why they are not buying. Ethereum is expected to drop further if BTC declines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The analyst noted that these market participants are forgetting that Bitcoin fell from $90,000 to $60,000 without any news or headlines, and that they consider this nuance unimportant. As such, he suggested that BTC and Ethereum could still see lower prices, whether or not <\/span>the U.S. attacks Iran<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, <\/span>BitQuant indicated<\/span><\/a> that current prices do not matter in the long-term as Bitcoin and possibly Ethereum are likely to trade higher. He stated that many still don\u2019t understand that <\/span>BTC is a system<\/span><\/a> and that they only see it as an asset. The analyst added that for many, BTC resembles a football match where they celebrate when there is a goal and leave the stadium when there isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader crypto market are currently facing downside pressure not only due to a potential U.S. attack on Iran but also due to the uncertainty around the <\/span>Trump tariffs<\/span><\/a>. The U.S. president over the weekend announced plans to hike the global tariff rate from 10% to 15% after the Supreme Court ruled against the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A <\/span>CryptoQuant analysis<\/span><\/a> recently suggested that Bitcoin could still drop below $40,000 to around $38,900, which is the long-term holders\u2019 (LTHs) cost basis. The analysis also alluded to historical precedent, noting that each <\/span>bear market<\/span><\/a> has been characterized by BTC\u2019s price breaking below its cost basis. This triggers a final capitulation phase marked by realized losses of around 20%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The analysis also noted that it is only after this phase that the market has been able to rebuild the necessary foundations for <\/span>a trend reversal<\/span><\/a>, with Bitcoin and Ethereum reaching new highs. Meanwhile, another <\/span>CryptoQuant analysis<\/span><\/a> mentioned that the Coinbase Premium Index shows limited signs of recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The index\u2019s 30-minute simple moving average had briefly crossed above the zero level but failed to maintain the momentum into the new week. CryptoQuant stated that this lack of sustained recovery in the premium, despite the temporary uptick, is considered a potential trigger for the recent downward price action.<\/span><\/p>\n Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crypto analyst BitQuant has commented on why market participants are not buying Bitcoin and Ethereum despite the recent lows.
