"The cryptocurrency market battled to remain positive as sellers dominated the market to begin the week." Tether has paid $10 billion in withdrawals since the crypto market's inception, indicating large-scale liquidations throughout the crypto market by investors looking to rebalance their portfolios, according to Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin.

"The cryptocurrency market is projected to remain in a negative trend for some time, and most investors will remain in a wait-and-see attitude," he said.

Investors wary about returning to the market

"Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies surged on Monday when a well-known fashion company Balenciaga announced to accept crypto payments but sank later in the day," said Edul Patel, Co-Founder, and CEO of Murex. Bitcoin is presently selling at US$29,200, its lowest level since January 2021. BTC is expected to go below the present level, putting its support to the test once more."

"Since April, BTC has been in a negative consolidation owing to several macroeconomic issues, including Terra's collapse." "It appears that investors and institutions have taken a breather and are cautious to return to the market," Patel added.
