during an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box," Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, pointed out that the cryptocurrency industry has always promoted Bitcoin as a risky asset, but in reality, Bitcoin is a token that is "global, scarce, non-sovereign, and decentralized." Mitchnick said, "The recent market conditions seem to be a self-fulfilling phenomenon, actually caused by some research and comments within the industry that tend to portray Bitcoin as a risky asset." He believes that the claim that a severe economic recession in the United States could affect the price of Bitcoin is "baseless." Mitchnick said, "Tariffs may not necessarily be bad news for Bitcoin. As for economic concerns, I am not sure if we will fall into a recession, but a recession could actually become an important catalyst for Bitcoin." Mitchnick also mentioned that despite concerns that macroeconomic uncertainty could affect cryptocurrencies, the price of Bitcoin has risen by about 15% since early November last year. "Clearly, 2024 is a rather extraordinary and historically significant year," he said, "Fundamentally, we believe this is the long-term trend. That's why people see Bitcoin as digital gold."

Bitcoin's price movement has closely followed that of the US stock market, particularly the Nasdaq and S&P 500. With fund managers pulling out of US stocks at a historic rate, there are concerns about whether Bitcoin could be the next to suffer. The recent shift in sentiment reflects a decrease in confidence in the US economy and an increase in fears of a global recession, which could impact assets like Bitcoin due to their strong correlation with US stocks. The rise in cash allocations among investors also poses downside risks for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, as highlighted in the latest survey by Bank of America. While some managers are still bullish on Bitcoin, others are worried about potential triggers for a global recession and inflation that could affect risky assets like Bitcoin. Despite the recent price decline, Bitcoin has historically recovered from corrections during long-term rallies, with its performance in the next six months likely dependent on the overall market conditions. Holding above the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) could signal a potential recovery for Bitcoin, while breaking below this level could lead to further downside towards the 200-week EMA.
