Crypto Market Faces Extreme Turbulence This Week

In an unprecedented turn of events, the U.S. stock market noted declines in tandem with the crypto market as this week kicked off, primarily due to rumors of Nvidia (NVDA) receiving a subpoena by the U.S. DoJ. However, the market saw some ease as the AI giant refuted claims of receiving a DoJ subpoena.

Nevertheless, U.S. JOLTS data sparked further volatility this week, coming in at 7.7 million, a 4.6% decrease from the market forecast of 8.1 million. Subsequently, market participants expect a Fed rate cut by 50 bps this month. However, broader impacts remain uncertain as September is probably the worst month for both stock and crypto markets.
