Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Crypto & ZKB – European Wrap 9 September

Bitcoin struggles around $57,000 as institutions load off BTC holdings

Bitcoin (BTC) recovered on Wednesday after retesting its daily support level of around $56,000, but the 2.15% decline on Thursday suggests this rebound may be fleeting. The downtrend may persist if BTC drops below the $56,000 support, evidenced by Lookonchain and Arkham intelligence data indicating institutional selling, alongside bearish on-chain signals such as decreasing daily active addresses and a declining Coinbase premium index.

This fear among traders is driven by five key narratives, according to analysts from Santiment, who have examined the role of each of them in shaping the crypto market cycle and their impact on future prices.
