Bitcoin Has Potential to Fall Further as Investors Flee Risky Assets -- Market Talk

Feb 13
1143 GMT - Bitcoin's value has almost halved from last year's peak but there might be scope for it fall further amid an ongoing flight from risky assets, Wealth Club's Susannah Streeter says in a note. Bitcoin trading is down 47% from the record high of $126,223 reached in October, LSEG data show. "Given that past crashes have seen the cryptocurrency fall by as much as 75%, there are fears it may still have further to slide," Streeter says. Bitcoin is hardly praised for its reliability or stability qualities, which are currently in demand, she says. Bitcoin is last up 1.6% at $66,853, recovering only slightly after reaching a 16-month low of $60,008 last Friday.(renae.dyer@wsj.com)
