💰 Bitcoin (BTC) Price Recovers But Danger Still Looms: QCP Capital
Bitcoin’s setback below $61,000 triggered a market-wide correction. Despite the inflow of fresh capital, the leading crypto asset registered 15% in weekly losses at one point after hitting new all-time highs earlier this month. QCP Capital’s analysis suggests that the Bitcoin bull market is far from over while simultaneously highlighting a continued liquidity rotation, which is likely to propel the asset to new highs post-halving. Having said that, a “violent” near-term correction due to lingering leverage might transpire.
