Bitcoin could see a 15-20% decline if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, as predicted by Bitfinex analysts. The cryptocurrency's increasing correlation with traditional financial assets and recent volatility are key factors.
The potential rate cut by the Fed could make riskier assets like Bitcoin more attractive, but the analysts at Bitfinex suggest that Bitcoin's growing correlation with traditional financial assets could lead to a decline. The recent 4% drop in Bitcoin's price and its historical volatility in September support this bearish outlook.
