QCP Capital: Crypto May Follow Recovery Of US Stock Market
In Brief
QCP Capital noted that the current market weakness is likely temporary due to the strong correlation between cryptocurrencies and US stocks.
Singapore-based cryptocurrency trading firm QCP Capital released its latest market analysis, indicating that the current market weakness is likely temporary due to the strong correlation between cryptocurrencies and US stocks. The analysis observed a recent sell-off, with BTC dropping below the $60,000 mark and ETH falling below $2,400. According to the firm, BTC’s formation of lower lows and lower highs suggests a short-term bearish trend.
However, QCP Capital believes that as US equities begin to recover, cryptocurrencies could also experience a rebound. This correlation suggests that macroeconomic factors are currently the primary influences on the prices of risk assets.
According to the firm, the ADP employment report recently exceeded expectations, making the upcoming non-farm payrolls report crucial for confirming the strength of the US labor market. The anticipated combination of potential rate cuts and labor market strength could provide a boost to risk assets.
Additionally, QCP Capital pointed out that despite tensions in the Middle East affecting Bitcoin during what is traditionally a strong month for the cryptocurrency, they view this dip as temporary and expect the “Uptober” rally to materialize.
