Strengthening Dollar Intensifies Bitcoin Pressure
- Dollar Strength Impact: The DXY index has rebounded 5.6% from a low of 95.6, surpassing 101 this week, which has led to increased selling pressure on Bitcoin as liquidity tightens, further weakening demand for the cryptocurrency.
- Institutional Selling Intensifies: According to Galaxy Research, on-chain distribution by Bitcoin holders of over five years has overwhelmed institutional absorption over the past four weeks, marking the most significant OG selling in Bitcoin's history, which adds further pressure on its price.
- Market Structure Deterioration: Analysts note that as the DXY rises, Bitcoin's market structure has deteriorated, with the Risk Index surging; although Bitcoin attempted to recover in April and early May, it failed to sustain gains, indicating a lack of confidence in the market.
- Pessimistic Future Outlook: Analyst Benjamin Cowen predicts a decisive downward move for Bitcoin later this year, which, while initially alarming, could set the stage for a market cycle bottom in Q4 2026, reflecting a continued bearish sentiment towards Bitcoin's long-term prospects.
