“Bitcoin saw a short-term loss of momentum earlier this week, which has given way to a corrective phase.“, said Will Tamplin, a senior analyst at Fairlead Strategies. “The only concern is whether the rally to $30,000 was merely due to the Fed’s liquidity injection after the SVB bankruptcy, or whether it is the start of a new bull run for bitcoin.“, said Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co.
