While bitcoin's risk is part of its appeal, after its recent slump, “Psychologically for a lot of people this is galling.”
Is bitcoin BTCUSD, +0.48% facing a breaking point? That’s what some investors, acolytes and otherwise, might be contemplating, as the cryptocurrency’s descent accelerates over the weekend. The world’s No. 1 digital asset was last trading at $18,654, down more than 70% from its peak of around $65,000, with the broader crypto market feeling to some as if it were in free fall.
Yves Lamoureux, the bitcoin-bullish president of Montreal-based macroeconomic research firm Lamoureux & Co., said that debt swirling around in the crypto market has amplified recent swings lower, with a number of highly indebted companies facing margin calls and this arcane business’s version of Wall Street bank runs. “If my read is correct, this is massive liquidation of huge leverage in the system,” said Lamoureux.
