Bitcoin (BTC) faced a 4.9% correction in the four days following the failure to break the $28,000 resistance on Oct. 8, and derivatives metrics show fear is dominating sentiment in the market, but will it be enough to shake Bitcoin price from its current range?
Looking at the bigger picture, Bitcoin is holding up admirably, especially when compared to gold, which has fallen by 5% since June, and Treasury Inflation-Protected bonds (TIP), which have seen a 4.2% drop during the same period. Merely maintaining its position at $27,700, Bitcoin has outperformed two of the most secure assets in traditional finance.
