PANews, November 5th - According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin has fallen again – but unlike last month's sell-off, this time it wasn't triggered by leveraged trading that caused the market crash. On Tuesday, Bitcoin fell as much as 7.4%, breaking below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June. Compared to its all-time high a month ago, the drop exceeds 20%. In early trading on Wednesday, Bitcoin rebounded 1.7% in the New York market, although some options traders are still betting on further declines. If the October crash was driven by forced selling, the current pullback may reflect a more alarming situation: market confidence is waning. According to Markus Thielen, head of 10x Research, long-term Bitcoin holders have sold approximately 400,000 Bitcoins in the past month, resulting in an outflow of about $45 billion and causing market imbalances. “Over 319,000 bitcoins have been reactivated in the past month, primarily from accounts held for 6 to 12 months—indicating significant profit-taking by investors since mid-July,” said Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at K33. “While some reactivations stemmed from internal transfers, the majority reflect genuine selling activity.” Unlike the chain reaction that triggered the October crash, this decline has been driven primarily by sustained selling in the spot market. Thielen believes the imbalance between long-term holders selling bitcoins and new buyers entering the market is beginning to influence market trends, not just sentiment. Looking ahead, Thielen warns this selling trend could continue into next spring.PANews, November 5th - According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin has fallen again – but unlike last month's sell-off, this time it wasn't triggered by leveraged trading that caused the market crash.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market.
