The crypto market were in red territory yesterday as this news caused market volatility and uncertainty to retail traders.

Furthermore, the price of Bitcoin and Altcoins edged lower on Thursday. The options market that is set to expire in the next trading session has contributed to the drop in BTC prices alongside Altcoins diminishing retail interest as investors parked their capital in less risky alternatives such as the USDT and QC.

Most financial institutions anticipated for Bitcoin to remain in bullish territory but needed the price to dip to the bottom for healthy correction for flexible accumulation. This is the reason why Bitcoin hasn’t have any significant movement to the upside as institutional pressure is still very low.
