Crypto Market Recovery: Limited Downside Ahead, Predicts JPMorgan


According to JPMorgan's research, the decline in Bitcoin's open interest suggests a possible weakening of the prevailing price trend.


A recent Bloomberg report suggests a potential turnaround for the cryptocurrency market, as the bank's analysts note that the worst of long-position liquidations may be over. Bitcoin (BTC) futures contracts show signs of stabilizing open interest, suggesting that the crypto market's downward trajectory may be coming to an end.


The liquidation phase is winding down.


Long-Position Liquidations Completed at JPMorgan

Analysts at JPMorgan have indicated that the phase of extensive liquidations of long positions in the cryptocurrency market is likely to be coming to an end amid the recent turbulence. Based on the open interest of Bitcoin futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), this assessment suggests a possible deceleration in selling.


An indicator of market activity is open interest.  A decline in Bitcoin's open interest indicates a weakening price trend.


JPMorgan predicts that further downside in the crypto markets is limited in the near term due to the decline in open interest for Bitcoin.


Market Sentiment Factors

Cryptocurrency prices are influenced by regulatory uncertainty and external factors.


The recent downward trajectory in crypto prices has been attributed to waning optimism regarding regulatory developments in the United States. Market volatility has been caused by regulatory uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Ripple's legal battles with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).


Legal uncertainty and its implications

Legal and regulatory uncertainty poses a risk to crypto markets.


There is a renewed sense of legal uncertainty in cryptocurrency markets owing to the pending decisions on Bitcoin ETFs and the ongoing SEC appeal against Ripple's case.


Factors affecting the broader economy

Challenges in the crypto market are compounded by external factors.


The crypto market's recent decline has been exacerbated by external factors, including rising U.S. real yields and concerns surrounding China's economic growth trajectory. As a result, the market has been more sensitive and performed better.
