Dent (DENT) on a downward trajectory

Bitcoin’s struggles continue

While digital assets witness steady demand, Bitcoin has displayed a lackluster performance due to various notable factors. Analysts believe the coin lacks the narrative that generally fuels speculative interest in digital assets.
Moreover, August hasn’t been friendly for Bitcoin in the past three years, with BTC losing 13.88%, 11.29%, and 7.98% in 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively.
Also, the narrowing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) flows have added to Bitcoin’s woes.
Nevertheless, analyst Mags trusts the current declines are usual before robust upswings to new all-time highs.
