Bitcoin has seen a major drop today, falling over 23% from its all-time high of over $126,000 a month ago.

Whale selling and investor caution
Expert opinions

Analysts at CoinSwitch Markets Desk have noted that the US government's end of shutdown could take time to affect key economic indicators, keeping investors cautious.

They also pointed out a trend of whale selling with long-term holders offloading over 815,000 BTC in the last month.

Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex, said Bitcoin prices fell as investors became cautious amid delays in key economic data like CPI and jobless claims.

US stock market sees significant decline
Market volatility

The US stock market's recent rally, fueled by the end of the government shutdown, appears to have lost steam.

On Thursday, all three major Wall Street indexes recorded their largest daily percentage drops in over a month as investors tempered expectations for interest rate cuts amid inflation concerns.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.65% to 47,457.22, while S&P 500 and NASDAQ also closed lower at 6,737.49 and 22,870.36 respectively.

Fed rate cuts in question, putting pressure on growth assets
Future outlook

With key economic reports delayed, traders are re-evaluating whether the Federal Reserve can justify rate cuts in the near term.

This is putting further pressure on growth assets like cryptocurrencies and tech stocks.

In derivatives markets, demand for downside protection has increased with protective puts below the $100,000 strike seeing significant interest.

Price prediction

According to CoinSwitch Markets Desk, Bitcoin is facing resistance at $101,000.

If it manages to hold above this level, a retest could be possible. A move beyond this could trigger an upward trend for Bitcoin.

Patel predicts that Bitcoin will find support at around $96,000 before recovering toward $105,000 in the coming days.
