Bitcoin's reaction to the official recession confirmation and another large rate hike is bizarre, considering the initial movement of the asset on the market after we saw the first rate hike. Back then, the cryptocurrency market entered a strong downtrend that resulted in a 40% retrace and the prolonged consolidation that we are seeing today.
The swift pump to $23,000 may have been a massive misleading indicator for beginner investors that would consider a price increase during a bad macro environment as the end of the bear market and a return to"normal conditions."Unfortunately, fundamental metrics like trading volume, market inflows and other indicators that track the behavior of larger investors that actually shape the cryptocurrency market are still showing signs of a bear market.
