Many reasons are listed behind downtrend of cryptocurrencies; some speculators are pointing that it is due to the recovery in the Chinese currency but some hold the opposite view about this downfall as they are claiming that the rising tension between China and America in the finance industry is the ultimate reason for this Bitcoin’s price dumping.
Peter Schieff, CEO of Europe Pacific capital Group, tweeted that:
Now that trade tensions with China has eased, the pressure on the Yuan is off. Those who bought bitcoin to speculate on Chinese safe haven buying, which never happened, are taking their chips off the table
