The reasons for the recent adjustment of virtual currencies can be attributed to multiple aspects, which are intertwined and jointly affect the volatility of the market. Here are some of the main reasons:

1. Market expectations and interest rate cut policies

Changes in market expectations: Changes in market expectations are an important factor leading to price fluctuations of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. For example, after the Federal Reserve announced that it would maintain interest rates unchanged and hinted that interest rates might be cut in the future, the market may have digested this part of the positive news in advance, leading to subsequent price fluctuations.

Influence of interest rate cut policies: Although interest rate cuts are generally regarded as good for the economy, investors may be more cautious in the current situation of great uncertainty in the global economy, leading to market fluctuations. In addition, the interest rate cut by the Bank of England has failed to boost market confidence, but has further exacerbated market uncertainty.

2. Market capital trends

Intervention of high leverage funds: The open interest of Bitcoin contracts reached a historical high in a certain period, indicating that market funds have a relatively consistent view of the future market, and the intervention of a large amount of leveraged funds may have exacerbated market volatility.

Increased selling pressure: Events such as the start of compensation for Mt.Gox$BTC

brought some selling pressure, increasing the selling pressure in the market.

3. Cryptocurrency halving event

Reduced supply: In 2024, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin will usher in a halving event, which means that the mining reward will be halved, and the rate at which new coins enter circulation will be reduced, which may increase the scarcity of the market. #However, this event may also lead to a decrease in miners' mining motivation and have a certain impact on network security.

Market reaction: Historical data shows that Bitcoin halving events are usually accompanied by price increases, but the market may also price the halving in advance, resulting in price fluctuations. #
