The Federal Reserve starts the QT program in June, and money is leaking from the financial markets as sentiment towards risky assets declines. Potential declines could lead to another 'cryptocurrency winter' which may last until the next Bitcoin 'halving' in early 2024. Until now, the repeating cycle pattern worked flawlessly.

Ethereum plunged below psychological support at $ 2000 and if current sentiment prevails, the next target for sellers is located around support $1900 which coincides with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the last massive upward wave. Source: xStation5
