[Analysis] Bitwise Warns of 'Greater Losses' for Bitcoin in Coming Weeks

There is an analysis suggesting that the decline in Bitcoin (BTC) prices may continue for the next few weeks.

According to CoinDesk on the 23rd, Andre Dragos, Head of European Research at the virtual asset management company Bitwise, stated, "There is a high possibility of greater losses for Bitcoin prices in the coming weeks."

Initially, Bitwise had a positive outlook on Bitcoin prices over the past few months. However, it seems that they have shifted their stance considering the macroeconomic situation, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) signaling a moderation in the pace of interest rate cuts.

Dragos anticipates that the aversion to investing in virtual assets like Bitcoin will persist for the time being. This is based on the judgment that if the pace of interest rate cuts is slower than initially expected, investments in safe assets like bonds will increase, while investments in risky assets like virtual assets will shrink.

However, there is still an analysis that the price increase factor due to the shortage of Bitcoin supply remains. Dragos stated, "If the Fed aggressively cuts rates, there is a risk of rapidly accelerating inflation, and conversely, if no action is taken, the economy could suffer," adding, "Ultimately, financial tightening due to rising (government bond) yields and the dollar index will pressure the Fed." He continued, "The shortage of Bitcoin supply will remain a long-term bullish factor."
