Crypto Market Faces Macroeconomic Pressure
This week saw a couple of concerning macro developments that sparked a cautious sentiment among traders and investors. CoinGape reported that the manufacturing PMI and JOLTS data came in weaker than expected this week.
The March PMI data dropped to 49, below expectations of 49.5 and lower than the 50 recorded in February. Also, the U.S. JOLTS job openings for February stood at 7.568 million, coming short of the expected 7.690 million and lower than the 7.762 million recorded in January. This macro data pointed toward a bearish outlook for the broader market.
In turn, even the crypto market saw a stalled movement, with Bitcoin & Ether prices negating any major gains over the past seven days. In addition, Donald Trump’s Liberation Day, which is the tagline for his proposed reciprocal tariffs on other countries, has added to the pressure on broader markets.
