Why Is Crypto Price Down Today

The crypto market continues to remain at the behest of the federal reserve. Meanwhile, the Fed is showing no intention of pivoting to a less restrictive stance. Loretta Mester, the President of the Cleveland Fed, stated that interest rates need to climb further to tackle inflation.

Despite growing recessionary fear, Mester believes that the biggest policy risk remains an early pivot by the Fed. It is a theme that has been reaffirmed by several key Fed officials. Neel Kashkari, the president of the Minnesota Fed, stated that the Fed is still in the early stages of its fight against inflation.
