Why Is Crypto Price Down Today

The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy is still guiding the crypto market. Key fed officials continue to take an extremely aggressive tone in regard to future policy guidance. The global markets are fearful of the hawkish stance of the central banks.

The Federal Open Market Committee will also release its minutes for the September meeting. The minutes will hold key evidence of the Fed’s future course of action. Lael Brainard and Charles Evans, two key members of the Federal Reserve will also speak out about their future actions.

What Is Driving Crypto Prices

The crypto market is still strongly correlated with the general broader market. It is especially correlated with the tech-oriented NASDAQ 100. S&P 500 fell by 2.80% in the last 24 hours. Similarly, NASDAQ 100 fell close to 4% in the last 24 hours. Therefore, it is no surprise that the crypto market fell as well.

Many major corporations will also release their earnings report today. So the crypto market will be on the lookout for any major price movement.

The market will also eye how the central banks will respond to recession fears and the growing global economic instability.
