Bitcoin Falls in Wake of U.S. Ruling Out New Purchases -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

08/18

0818 GMT - Bitcoin falls to a one-and-a-half-week low in the wake of the U.S. Treasury ruling out new purchases of the cryptocurrency for its strategic reserve, FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill says. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business Thursday the government wouldn't buy additional bitcoins to supplement its existing supply. Speculators have liquidated more than $40 million worth of bitcoin long positions, or bets on it rising, Hill says. Profit-taking by long-term and large bitcoin holders have also contributed to the cryptocurrency's decline along with seasonal August weakness and geopolitical tensions, he says. Moreover, last week's higher-than-expected U.S. wholesale inflation data dampened expectations for aggressive Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts. Bitcoin falls to a low of $15,007, LSEG data show.
