Amid these negative flows, the Bitcoin price has entered a sharp correction dropping 5.5% all the way to $66,000. Along with Bitcoin, even the broader cryptocurrency market has witnessed strong liquidations in the last 24 hours.

Fed’s Monetary Policy Faces Challenges
As April commences, the crypto market’s retreat suggests a waning momentum in the recent robust rally, notably characterized by Bitcoin’s surge to an all-time high. This shift in sentiment reflects a more cautious stance prevailing in global markets, prompted by lingering inflationary pressures in the United States. Consequently, investors are scaling back their expectations for looser monetary policies and interest rates cuts from the Federal Reserve.
Stefan von Haenisch, the head of trading at OSL SG Pte in Singapore, remarked that the anticipation of reduced interest-rate cuts by the Fed is reverberating across the cryptocurrency sphere. This sentiment is evidenced by a broad sell-off observed as the week unfolds, affecting various sectors within the crypto market. Notably, sectors that have outperformed Bitcoin over the past six months, such as meme coins, are notably affected by this cautious mood.
