The cash flow into the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is not strong enough for Bitcoin price to break above $ 40,000

Currently, the cash flow into the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is not strong enough for Bitcoin price to break above $ 40,000
About a month ago, JPMorgan strategists warned that a drop in the flow could trigger a brutal market correction. At the time, Bitcoin was trading for under $ 24,000.
After Bitcoin exploded higher and hit its current all-time high of $ 42,000 on Jan. 8, the rally became too hot to be sustainable and a series of corrections followed. At press time, the cryptocurrency is trading at $ 33,371 on the Bitstamp exchange.
JPMorgan noted that Grayscale’s cash flow dropped even more sharply than Bitcoin itself (22% and 17%, respectively) last week.
The report stated:
“At the moment, the institutional flow impulse behind the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is not strong enough for Bitcoin to break out above $40,000.”
