Why The Crypto Market Is Struggling

The crypto market shows a strong correlation with the general stock market. Beta is the measure of how strongly an asset is showing correlation to the broader market. According to Coinbase Research, the crypto market has a beta of 2, which means it exhibits twice as much price movement as the broader market. Therefore, it shows a strong correlation with tech stocks and the tech-oriented NASDAQ 100.

Due to this correlation, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a massive selloff. The Federal Reserve is engaging in offloading its ballooned-up balance sheet. Moreover, quantitative tightening and interest rate hikes have plummeted the stock market. The Fed has already increased interest rates by four consecutive 75 bps hikes. Recent CPI and PPI data have all but ascertained another mega hike.

However, experts are beginning to wonder if the Fed will have to pivot to protect global financial stability. Fears of recession, deflation and stagflation have risen considerably. The Bank of America survey also expects the Federal Reserve to pivot in early 2023.

The survey believes that market liquidity has deteriorated significantly and that the stock market is correctly signaling investor pessimism.
