Why Is Crypto Crashing
The crypto market is crashing as the greenback currency, US Dollar, continues to show incredible strength. The U.S. Dollar Index or DXY increased by another 0.64% to reach 113.92. The US bond yields climbed as a result and the stock market took a dip.
S&P 500 slid by 1.72% and NASDAQ fell by 1.66%. The crypto market is strongly correlated with the general broader market. It is especially correlated with the tech-oriented NASDAQ 100.
The dollar’s strength is destroying other global currencies including the British pound. It is also causing damage to the risk assets market such as a crypto crash.
Meanwhile, the Fed continues its hawkish stance against inflation. Its quantitative tightening is the biggest reason for the dollar’s strength. The global economies are also bracing for a recession as the Fed continues to underestimate the slowdown in the economy.
Key Events To Watch
The upcoming speech of Key Fed officials will impact the crypto market. Susan Collins of Boston Fed, Raphael Bostic of Atlanta, and Loretta Mester of Cleveland are due to speak today. Fed chair Jerome Powell will speak on Tuesday.
As the Fed officials will speak on further monetary policy, it can impact the crypto crash.
