Although watching the price of Bitcoin go down like can be disheartening for some/most BTC holders, it is worth keeping in mind that for the year-to-date (YTC) period, the Bitcoin price has changed +69.38% versus the U.S. dollar.
Over on Twitter, prominent economist and crypto analyst/trader Alex Kruger reminded everyone that the Bitcoin price is not affected by macro variables unlike what many people seem to believe:
Remember how the Fed "printing money" was supposed to make bitcoin prices explode higher?
Quantitative easing is rocket fuel!
Fantastic narrative.$BTC is down 30% since the Fed started expanding its balance sheet in August. Big facts. pic.twitter.com/byhWrdslGG

Added liquidity can only help price, but $BTC doesn't respond to macro variables.
It is such an illiquid/fragmented market that in the absence of mass influx of new buyers, actions of a few determine direction. Micro, not macro.
Only narrative still standing is the halving/s2f.
