Bitcoin and Crypto Market Crash On Macro Concerns
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the JOLTS jobs openings increased by 259,000 to 8,098 million in November 2024, Also, ISM Services PMI came in higher than expected, which shows the resilience of the U.S. economy currently. This caused Bitcoin price to crash by more than 5%.
In fact, the US dollar index (DXY) holds its advance above 108.50 today, after a two-day low move that caused a recovery in Bitcoin price. Also, the 10-year US Treasury yield increased to a 35-week high of 4.68%. The strong US economic data reduced expectations for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
Whereas, BTC price continues to fall despite better performance by BlackRock Bitcoin ETF. The price currently trades at $96,259. The 24-hour low and high are $96,132 and $102,022, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has decreased by 23% in the last 24 hours.
