Why Cryptocurrency Price Is Down Today

The monetary policy of central banks is driving the stock market. The Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening to curb inflation levels is creating bearish sentiment in the market. The crypto market is strongly correlated with the general broader market.

S&P 500 continued its slide to the bottom. After falling close to 3% yesterday, it fell by another 1% in the last 24 hours. Similarly, the tech-oriented NASDAQ 100 fell by another 1%.

The US dollar further strengthened its position after another strong rally yesterday.

Key Events To Watch

The crypto market is entirely dependent upon the macroeconomic environment. Therefore, the Consumer Price Index released this week will have a huge impact on any price movement. Similarly, the Producer Price Index will also be released this week.
