Coin Metrics measures a week in crypto, which trades 24 hours a day, from the 4:00 p.m. "The part that could upset the crypto market is if interest rates stay higher for longer, which disappoints the expectation that the rate could be lowered in the first half of 2024. Trading data also shows long-term investors haven't been easily shaken by the recent weakness. This tells us that despite the price volatility and recent downdraft in prices, long-term holders are unwavering. He added that while it's unclear what exactly accounts for traders' resilience, maturing crypto investors are becoming more "aware of the cycles associated with bitcoin's halving and are expecting it to repeat, leading to price appreciation."
