美國寬鬆貨幣政策範圍縮小，抑制投機熱情，比特幣跌幅擴大至 10% 以上

（彭博）—由於美國寬鬆貨幣政策的空間縮小抑制了投機熱情，本週早些時候比特幣從歷史高點的跌幅一度擴大至 10% 以上。

Bitcoin erased some of this week’s gains, dropping as much as 10% amid speculation that the Federal Reserve’s reduced appetite for looser monetary policy may be curbing some speculative enthusiasm.

由於人們猜測聯準會對寬鬆貨幣政策的興趣減弱可能會抑制一些投機熱情，比特幣抹去了本週的部分漲幅，跌幅高達 10%。

The world’s largest cryptocurrency slid to as low as $95,564 on Thursday, according to pricing from Coinbase. The selloff followed a record high just two days earlier, when Bitcoin briefly topped $108,000. The downturn was steeper for smaller tokens such as Ether and Dogecoin.

根據 Coinbase 的定價，全球最大的加密貨幣週四跌至 95,564 美元。就在兩天前，比特幣一度突破 108,000 美元，創下歷史新高。對於以太幣和狗狗幣等較小的代幣來說，衰退更為嚴重。

Such corrections are “pretty typical” in crypto bull markets, said Strahinja Savic, head of data and analytics at FRNT Financial.

FRNT Financial 數據和分析主管 Strahinja Savic 表示，這種調整在加密貨幣牛市中「非常典型」。

Bitcoin’s selloff mirrored a broader sell-off in most risk assets after the Federal Reserve pivoted to a more hawkish stance on Wednesday. The central bank signaled it will begin raising interest rates in 2023 and now expects to cut them only once by the end of 2025.

週三聯準會轉向更強硬立場後，比特幣的拋售反映了大多數風險資產的更廣泛拋售。央行表示將於 2023 年開始升息，目前預計到 2025 年底只會降息一次。

Still, Bitcoin is up almost 50% since pro-crypto Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election on Nov. 5.

儘管如此，自 11 月 5 日支持加密貨幣的唐納德·川普在美國總統大選中獲勝以來，比特幣已上漲近 50%。

“It looks like some year-end profit taking,” said Edward Chin, amodities strategist at Parataxis. “There wasn’t anything fundamental that triggered the selloff.”

Parataxis 的商品策略師愛德華·欽 (Edward Chin) 表示：“這看起來像是年底的獲利了結。” “沒有任何基本面因素引發拋售。”

With fewer Fed rate cuts now expected for 2025, some investors may be choosing to reduce their exposure and take profits.

由於目前預計 2025 年聯準會降息次數較少，一些投資者可能會選擇減少風險敞口並獲利了結。

“Technically, caution is warranted in the short term,” Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone Group, wrote in a note. “This doesn’t mean we’re due to see a collapse in price anytime soon, but the momentum has clearly come out of the move and the buyers have lost dominance and control of the tape.”

Pepperstone Group 研究主管 Chris Weston 在一份報告中寫道：“從技術上講，短期內需要謹慎。” “這並不意味著我們很快就會看到價格暴跌，但勢頭顯然已經消失，買家已經失去了主導地位和對磁帶的控制。”

Bitcoin was trading at $97,836 as of 7:10 a.m. on Friday in Singapore. It has more than doubled this year, helped by a flood of inflows into US exchange-traded funds for the token.

截至週五上午 7:10，新加坡比特幣交易價格為 97,836 美元。在大量資金流入美國交易所交易基金的推動下，該代幣今年成長了一倍以上。
