Stocks, like cryptocurrencies, began the new trading week on a negative note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average retraced 427.09 points, or 0.9%, to settle at 47,289.33. The S&P 500 sank 0.53% to finish at 6,812.63, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 0.38% to end at 23,275.92.
Meanwhile, expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut next week grew stronger, with traders pricing in an 87.5% chance of a 25-basis-point cut, up 84.4% from the week before, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant noted a sharp fall in Binance's "Bitcoin to Stablecoin Reserve Ratio," breaking its all-time low since 2018.
In other words, the volume of stablecoins on Binance relative to available Bitcoin is at its highest level in over 6 years.
"History shows that hitting such lows often precedes powerful Bitcoin rallies, simply because the liquidity required to fuel a price surge is now fully available on the exchange," CryptoQuant predicted.
Michaël van de Poppe, a widely followed cryptocurrency analyst, highlighted the significance of $83,400 as Bitcoin's support.
"If that doesn’t provide enough buying pressure, then we’re going to test the low beneath $81,000 for support. Probably in the next few days," the analyst projected.
