Bitcoin (BTC) is falling and is trading at around US$ 102 thousand on the morning of this Thursday (15), while the major cryptocurrencies in the world are also registering declines, in a movement of adjustment after recent gains.
In the traditional market, Asian stock markets closed the day in the negative, and both the European market and Wall Street futures are operating lower this morning.
After a rally driven by relief in the trade war between the United States and China, risk assets went through a price correction considered natural and which, for now, does not raise major concerns among analysts.
According to data from Deribit, approximately US$ 2.66 billion in bitcoin futures contracts will expire next Friday (16), which may generate some volatility in prices.
