The downward trajectory in the cryptocurrency market appears to be reaching its conclusion, as per recent research by JPMorgan.
The bank’s analysis suggests that the majority of long position liquidations have concluded, pointing towards a potential deceleration in the selling trend.
Based on information from a Bloomberg report, JPMorgan’s experts anticipate that the era of liquidations is mostly in the past.
This projection draws from the assessment of open interest in Bitcoin futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), which serves as an indicator of market sentiment and the potency of price movements.
A decline in Bitcoin’s open interest is interpreted by analysts as a possible indication of waning price momentum: “As a result, we see limited downside for crypto markets over the near term.”
The recent dip in crypto prices can be attributed to waning optimism surrounding regulatory advancements in the United States.
On August 26, Bitcoin hovered around $26,000, marking an 11.27% decrease over the past month.
Bitcoin’s value was buoyed in previous months by favorable developments, including applications for the introduction of the first U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Bitcoin’s actual price.

Prominent names such as BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK Invest, and 21Shares were among those awaiting regulatory approval.
In a positive turn, Ripple Labs secured a partial victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Nevertheless, this optimism is fading as traders await crucial decisions regarding Bitcoin ETFs and the SEC’s appeal against Ripple, rekindling uncertainty.
These circumstances collectively contribute to a fresh wave of legal ambiguity for the cryptocurrency market, rendering it sensitive to forthcoming events.
The market’s decline has also been influenced by external factors, encompassing increasing U.S. real yields and apprehensions concerning China’s economic growth.
