In the past week, BTC fell by as much as 12% during the week, falling to $52,550 on September 7, and then entered a technical correction. It broke through $58,000 on the morning of September 10 and then fell back. It is currently fluctuating around $57,000 (the above data is from Binance spot, September 10 16:00).

The Fed’s rate cut is a foregone conclusion, but market concerns about the prospect of a U.S. recession have reduced the catalyst’s driving force. In August, the VIX index, which measures market volatility, jumped above 65, a level that has only appeared twice in history, namely the COVID-19 pandemic and the global financial crisis in 2008. Investors’ concerns about a potential recession outweighed the long-awaited positive expectations of a rate cut.
At the same time, the current market indicators show that the demand for long-term transactions in the market has declined, investors are generally interested in long-term directional exposure to Bitcoin prices, and traders are cautious about their current positions. In the current context, investors are advised to reduce their reliance on a single market, diversify and reasonably allocate assets (satellite strategy) to cope with potential short-term market fluctuations. At the same time, under the premise of market adjustments, long-term investors can pay close attention to medium- and long-term opportunities in the market, but they also need to pay attention to risk control, and can allocate some robust cost protection products to ensure basic income and earn interest on holding coins.
