QCP Capital analysts are sounding the alarm: the escalation of the trade war between the US and China could once again plunge the crypto market into instability.
Even though BTC has recently broken out of its downtrend and is currently holding in the $80,000-$90,000 range, there are dark clouds on the horizon.
Washington is looking for leverage, Beijing is seeking a breathing space, but neither side can afford to look weak.
As markets watch the talks and bond moves, traders and investors are increasingly asking: is BTC's current stability just an illusion?
QCP Capital warns that if the conflict escalates, inflation in the US could rise and the economy could slow. In such conditions, even Bitcoin could fall back into the "risky asset" category, and then capital would rush to more conservative safe havens, such as gold.
Kaiko analysts are adding fuel to the fire: the BTC derivatives market is already showing weak dynamics, and the mood of participants is becoming increasingly pessimistic.
We stand at a fork in the road. Bitcoin: hedge or risk? Calm or storm?
We follow the news. It's time not to panic, but to be on guard.
