Selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market returns, and investors 'risk appetite has weakened significantly
As the selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market increases again, investors' risk appetite has shown obvious signs of weakening. Bitcoin prices fell back below $77,000, while a larger decline in altcoins exacerbated anxiety in the overall market. In particular, the performance of currencies such as Zcash, HYPE, Dogecoin, XRP and Solana attracted attention, and many mainstream cryptocurrencies closed with negative returns. The core focus of current market volatility is on upcoming U.S. inflation data, rising Treasury yields and the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision.
Bitcoin and altcoins face selling pressure
In the past 24 hours, the market value of Bitcoin has shrunk by about 2% to below US$77,000; at the same time, the selling pressure in the altcoin market has become more pronounced. Zcash led the decline with a decline of about 12%, HYPE pulled back about 7%, Dogecoin fell about 6%, and XRP and Solana also recorded declines of about 3%. Major cryptocurrencies fell simultaneously, reflecting investors becoming more cautious in the face of market uncertainty. As Bitcoin is approaching key support levels, this trend is of great significance in judging the subsequent pressure on altcoins.
The core of market anxiety lies in the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision. Rising production-side prices and sharp fluctuations in U.S. bond yields have strengthened market expectations that the Fed may adopt a more hawkish monetary policy. In particular, the resurgence of inflationary pressures has triggered market concerns that high interest rates will remain for a longer period of time. Interest rate futures data showed that the market expects the Fed to raise interest rates at its September 15 - 16 meeting has risen to about 70%, further weakening the market's risk appetites. These expectations have led to greater selling pressure on cryptocurrencies and other risky assets, including Bitcoin.
Bitcoin's key support level has attracted attention
Technical analysts are closely monitoring relevant indicators as to whether Bitcoin will fall further from its current position. Bitget analyst Lewis Huang pointed out that US$76,270 is a critical technical support level and commented: "US$76,270 is an important technical support point." Bitcoin has been trading above this level since the rally began in August, so the gain and loss of this support level is crucial for short-term price movements.
In addition, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF experienced an outflow of approximately US$120 million on Wednesday, which also exacerbated selling pressure on the market. However, it is worth noting that funds related to Ether, XRP and Solana-related attracted capital inflows on the same day. Rising oil prices and rising U.S. bond yields have further increased the macroeconomic pressure on the crypto market. "The market is ready for a more hawkish stance from the Fed and a potential rate hike," said Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group.
Summary and Outlook
With Bitcoin falling below the US$77,000 mark, the cryptocurrency market has entered a critical stage. If the support level of $76,270 falls, selling pressure may intensify further, and Bitcoin may test a lower price range. Compared with Bitcoin, the larger decline in altcoins suggests that investors tend to be conservative about the allocation of risky assets. In the future, the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, U.S. inflation data, fluctuations in government bond yields and the flow of funds in spot Bitcoin ETFs will become key factors affecting the short-term market trend.
