Crypto analyst Tony Severino has warned that the Bitcoin price risks a further crash. This came as he revealed a critical technical indicator, which has turned bearish for the flagship crypto, although he noted that BTC bulls can still invalidate this current bearish setup. Bitcoin Price At Risk Of Further Crash As S&P Monthly LMACD Turns Bearish In an X post, Severino indicated that the Bitcoin price could crash further as the S&P 500 monthly LMACD has begun to cross bearish and the histogram has turned red. This development is significant as IntoTheBlock data shows that BTC and the stock market still have a strong positive price correlation.

However, the Bulls’ failure to turn this around for Bitcoin could lead to a massive decline for the flagship crypto, worse than it has already witnessed. Severino stated that a confirmation of this bearish setup at the end of the month could kick off a bear market or Black Swan type event similar to what happened when the last two crossovers occurred. It is worth mentioning that BTC has already crashed to as low as $76,000 recently, sparking concerns that the bear market might already be here. However, crypto experts such as BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes have suggested that the bull market is still well in play for the Bitcoin price. Hayes noted that BTC has corrected around 30% from its current all-time high (ATH), which he remarked is normal in a bull run. The BitMEX founder predicts that the flagship crypto will rebound once the US Federal Reserve begins to ease its monetary policies. BTC Still Looking Good Despite Recent Crash Crypto analyst Kevin Capital has suggested that the Bitcoin price still looks good despite the recent crash. In his latest market update, he stated that BTC remains the best-looking chart and that everything is going according to plan for the flagship crypto. The analyst predicts that Bitcoin could still come down and test the range between $70,000 and $75,000, which he claims would still be completely fine. Related Reading: Bitcoin 77% Correction To $25,000, Will History Repeat Itself Kevin Capital remarked that the Bitcoin price could remain afloat if it holds a key market structure and the 3-day MACD resets. He added that some decent macro data could help the flagship crypto stay above key support levels. The US CPI data will be released today, which could provide some relief for the market if it shows that inflation is slowing. The analyst is confident that one good inflation report and the FOMC can help turn the tides. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $81,860, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Europe appears to be leading the way in the financial industry’s transition to crypto. Institutions throughout Europe are responding to the United States’ crackdown on crypto-friendly banks by enhancing their efforts to foster a more hospitable environment for digital assets. According to recent data, Europe is now home to over 50 institutions that provide crypto services, a figure that surpasses that of both Asia and North America. Regulations Provide A Clearer Path The regulatory clarity of Europe is a significant factor contributing to its increasing involvement in crypto banking. With the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework by the European Union, enterprises involved in cryptocurrencies are subject to clear laws. This gives organizations the confidence to offer services without worrying about unforeseen legal changes. On the other hand, the US has taken a different approach. The recent closures of Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank, two banks known for their backing of cryptocurrency companies, have left a hole in the American market. Currently, many US-based cryptocurrency companies are looking to other nations for financial solutions. Europe is leading the world in terms of crypto-friendly banks While the U.S. OCC just issued guidance allowing banks to engage in crypto services such as custody or stablecoin services, European banks are already years ahead. BBVA Spain is the latest example, announcing… pic.twitter.com/2FRr38FA2k — Patrick Hansen (@paddi_hansen) March 11, 2025 Europe is leading the globe in terms of crypto-friendly banks, said Patrick Hansen, EU Strategy and Policy Advisor at Circle, in a recent X post. Europe has quietly established itself as the unchallenged leader in the digital currency market , while major powers like the United States try to gain a firm presence in the field through banking partnerships. Numbers Show Europe Pulling Ahead Data from Coincub indicates that there is an increasing level of division. Asia has only 24 banks that support Bitcoin and other related assets, while Europe has 55 banks that do. As regulatory pressures intensify, North America, which was previously a hub for Bitcoin-friendly banks, is now lagging behind. Lack of trustworthy banking partners is making US crypto companies struggle with capital management and payment processing. Some have already started moving their business to areas with better laws. Europe’s approach, stressing control over limitation, is proving appealing. Traditional Institutions Get Involved Established financial institutions in Europe are also getting into the mix. A major player in the financial markets, Deutsche Boerse’s Clearstream is now developing services for bitcoin custody and settlement. This move indicates that traditional financial institutions are looking to serve institutional investors since they understand the possibilities of digital assets. Meanwhile, American institutions continue to exhibit caution. Due to regulatory scrutiny, numerous individuals are refraining from investing in digital currency. The result? A growing disparity between the United States and Europe in terms of the number of financial institutions that are willing to provide services to the industry. The Road Ahead For Europe Europe is becoming a center for digital banking as more institutions get involved and regulations become clearer. On the other hand, the US has yet to lay down a clear framework on how banks should deal with digital assets. If policies don’t change, American companies may continue to be behind their European competitors. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView
