Crypto finance platform Matrixport announced in its latest market assessment that investors are currently cautious in the short term, but there has been no significant change in the medium-term market outlook.
Matrixport: “Wait-and-See Period in the Short Term, Market Structure Unchanged in the Medium Term”
In its report, Matrixport noted that Bitcoin continues to trend sideways within a narrow price range, and that this situation is similar to the low volatility periods observed in the second half of 2024. The company noted that such periods typically result in “sudden directional breakouts following tight price movements.”
While US stocks have been hitting record highs multiple times in recent months, supported by an artificial intelligence (AI)-themed uptrend in global markets, the crypto market is taking a more cautious stance, according to Matrixport analysis.
The statement also emphasized that the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy continues to play a decisive role. Matrixport predicted that if the Fed maintains its dovish stance and continues to cut interest rates, investors will expect clearer directional signals.
According to the company’s assessment, the current market calm can be seen as the “calm before the storm”; volatility is likely to increase intensely in a short period after prolonged sideways movements.
