A blockchain analyst under the nickname Crazzyblockk has warned that amid the outflow of liquidity from centralized exchanges (CEXs) and increased leverage in the futures markets, the likelihood of “extreme price fluctuations” in bitcoinis growing.

Analysts’ observations. In early June, Fidelity Investments’ global macro director Jurrien Timmer compared the alternating bullish and bearish cycles in the crypto market to the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. He said that BTC may survive the crypto winter and take market share away from other digital assets.
As of June 20, 12:15 UTC, bitcoin price chart at $26 916, having gained 1,88% in 24 hours. Weekly growth, according to aggregator CoinGecko, amounted to 3,1%.
According to experts at Santiment, a combination of falling cryptocurrency prices and growing concerns about the effects of lawsuits by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the Binance and Coinbase exchanges led to a drop in trader sentiment to its most negative level since March 2020.
