Bitcoin is losing ground and falling as low as $41,500. From Wednesday to Thursday, a record sale of bitcoin could be seen.

The United States of America plans to reduce its fiat balance, and for this they will sell bonds. Bitcoin holders have lost over $50 billion in their wallets in 4 days.

Market capitalization fell to $874 billion. The market is dominated by short positions, not long positions. The U.S. Federal Reserve has plans to reduce its bond holdings after this decision was made at its meeting in December.

The U.S. government will continue to buy bonds as it plans to lower interest rates on bond purchases. In view of this massive bond buying, the Fed's hawkish policy, Bitcoin and other altcoins plunged sharply downward, and the year began with the complete dominance of bears in the crypto market.

The selling price of bitcoin fell by more than 6%. Friday's $41,500 bitcoin price is an all-winter low.

There is fear and panic on the market, speculators are trying to induce confusion in the crypto market and short. New investments in Bitcoin are not coming. Crypto investors are looking for a safe haven and are slowly leaving the crypto market or taking a wait and see attitude. The coefficient of fear and greed has fluctuated in the 15-18 percent range in recent days, which is a record high since July 2021.

Bitcoin holders are switching to bonds because they are confident that the U.S. government will provide them with better rates when buying bonds.

On Thursday, the liquidation of their positions was carried out from the crypto market, where more than 200,000 traders carried out transactions worth more than $800 million.

Only 6% of the total bitcoin circulation remains on crypto exchanges, the market is completely suppressed and the bear rally continues. This is not the start of the New Year that all analysts expected, but what is there is bound to happen.
