Analysts Issue Summer Period Warning
Analysts warn that the cryptocurrency market is currently under selling pressure due to low institutional investor purchases during the summer period. In the absence of institutional purchases, the selling pressure from long-term investors has shaken the altcoin market, particularly Bitcoin (BTC).
The absence of institutional investors and profit-taking by long-term investors have reduced liquidity in the market, increasing selling pressure. Additionally, analysts expect that if miners choose to hold onto their BTC rather than sell, the selling pressure may decrease.
