Crypto markets have slipped too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">For crypto traders, the question now is: can Bitcoin stay afloat amid a macro storm threatening to kneecap the stock market?<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">\u201cAny pronounced weakness in US equities is likely to exert short-term pressure on Bitcoin, given its notable correlation with risk assets,\u201d Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group, an institutional crypto exchange, told DL News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">Bitcoin fell from its all-time high above $122,000 by about 7% following a massive $9 billion selloff and late-month macro jitters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">Still, some market analysts say Bitcoin has shown some strength, despite the price slide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">Bitcoin\u2019s resilience remains propped up by its store-of-value status, massive institutional demand via exchange-traded funds, and favourable regulatory shifts, Kruger said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">These factors are likely to encourage more investors to continue buying Bitcoin and help stabilise its price, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">In April, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlnews.com\/articles\/markets\/bitcoin-price-bottomed-and-will-rise-like-gold-arthur-hayes\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bitcoin\u2019s price won\u2019t crash<\/a> the next time Trump\u2019s tariff zigzag sends the markets cratering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"puppeteer-article-text-type-element\">Meanwhile, US investors are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlnews.com\/articles\/snapshot\/coinbase-premium-dropped-huge-sigal-for-bitcoin-price\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">piling into Bitcoin<\/a> amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will slash interest rates in September.
