The analysis indicated that Bitcoin has struggled to benefit from the 10-11% decline in the yearly DXY. Traders perceive Bitcoin more as a liquidity-sensitive risk asset rather than a traditional store-of-value compared to gold.
The lackluster performance of Bitcoin influences both the broader cryptocurrency market and investor sentiment. The asset’s trading volume showcases a parallel decline, with muted movement expected in the short term.
