Today, Bitcoin 
$94,784‘s price climbed to the $95,200 range after a consistent eight-hour rally. However, following the release of U.S. employment data, the price plummeted to around $92,200. The macroeconomic outlook for cryptocurrencies has been lackluster for some time. What insights does Charles Edwards provide regarding the cryptocurrency decline?
Expert Analysis on Cryptocurrencies
At the time of writing, BTC was priced at $93,533, and ETH fell back to the $3,200 mark. This environment is certainly not encouraging for altcoins. While some cryptocurrencies are racing toward last year’s lows, exceptions like XRP Coin are struggling to maintain strength.
Concerns arise around whether the most exhilarating phase of the bull market has yet to begin, suggesting this cycle might differ significantly from previous ones. BTC is witnessing new highs while many altcoins lag behind.
Charles Edwards comments on the situation:
“Markets went wild in response to a very high employment figure. Less employment means more room for rates to remain high, hence this is an extreme short-term downward reaction.
However, strong employment figures like today suggest that the bull run could last much longer than anticipated. This was the best data in six months, eliminating the potential for unemployment to hit bottom anytime soon. Also, take note of the crazy intraday put-call ratio readings that are as high as the lows during the Covid crash. Is another bounce imminent?”
According to the analyst, those who correctly interpret the current situation still possess strong appetites, indicating the potential for a powerful bullish phase in cryptocurrencies that may last longer. Of course, Edwards doesn’t have a magic crystal ball, so being wrong wouldn’t be surprising.
Bitcoin Fractals from 2020-2025
In today’s assessment, the Titan of Crypto shared a fractal for BTC regarding price correction. The graph shared by the analyst suggests that we may witness a scenario similar to what occurred in 2020. Unfortunately, this assumption carries a risk of a drop to $81,000.
“With an additional 256,000 jobs added in December, the unemployment rate may drop to 4.1%, potentially revealing a fractal from the summer of 2020.”
