Cryptocurrency analyst Nic Carter reports that Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing increased market volatility, driven by investor caution and institutional participation alongside traditional market movements.
Recent fluctuations exhibit sharp price swings and significant liquidations, reshaping investor sentiment and on-chain activity patterns. Large-scale market movements have particularly affected both Bitcoin and Ethereum during this turbulent period.
Institutional activity emerges as a key influence, evidenced by synchronized gains in traditional markets—notably the Nasdaq’s 1.3% rise—reflecting aligned sentiment toward risk assets across investment classes.
While no new regulatory interventions were announced by major authorities like the SEC or CFTC during this volatility phase, the market remains highly reactive to regulatory unpredictability concerns.
