Bitcoin is struggling to cross the $60,000 mark. Bitfinex analysts predict that Bitcoin will continue to serve as the price action benchmark for the market and anticipate that the short-term economic environment will significantly influence crypto asset values.

Bitcoin Consolidation to Continue

According to Bitfinex analysts, Bitcoin has become increasingly correlated with macroeconomic indicators and traditional financial market indices. This correlation is due to more financial institutions allocating a portion of their portfolios to cryptocurrencies, particularly BTC. As such, they anticipate that the short-term economic environment will significantly influence crypto asset values. Despite the absence of immediate rate cuts, the current economic environment is resilient, with consumers and businesses better prepared and informed compared to previous cycles.

Impact of the Halving Event on Bitcoin’s Price

Bitfinex analysts believe that Bitcoin will stay at about the same price for the next 1-2 months, trading within a range with fluctuations of $10,000 on either side. This prediction is based on the assumption that there won’t be any significant changes in the economy soon. However, analysts also believe that the recent halving event, which has brought about a reduction in Bitcoin supply, will have a positive effect on its price later on.
