Some investors had viewed $58,000 as the cycle bottom, but dip-buying interest shifted toward AI stocks as Bitcoin failed to recover.
DeFi researcher Ignas described Bitcoin (BTC)’s weakness as a loss of confidence in its store-of-value case, saying dip-buying interest shifted toward AI stocks as Bitcoin failed to recover.
Some investors had viewed $58,000 as the cycle bottom. Bitcoin did not recover as AI stocks rebounded first, further hurting market sentiment and drawing dip buyers toward AI stocks instead of crypto.
Ignas said the crypto community has been quieter than during earlier Bitcoin declines, when bullish voices helped support confidence. He said some early Bitcoin believers have started buying ZEC or PRL as hedges.
Stablecoin outflows and the possibility that Strategy could be removed from MSCI have added to concerns, Ignas said. Some altcoins have held up better than Bitcoin, but its weakness continues to weigh on the broader crypto market.
