The market price of bitcoin has been volatile lately under the influence of various internal and external market conditions such as rising interest rates, inflation and stagflation. In particular, it looks like Bitcoin crashes have become more frequent as concerns about inflation have grown.
The US Department of Labor reported that the consumer price index (CPI) rose 8.3% in April compared to last year. This is lower than the previous month (8.5%), but higher than market expectations (8.1%), which stimulates fears about inflation.
As a result, on the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.02% and the S&P 500 fell 1.65%, respectively. The technology-focused Nasdaq fell 3.18%.
The question is being raised among investors as to whether virtual assets have lost any of their ability to withstand turbulent times when various domestic and external economic conditions are rapidly changing.
Investors have analyzed that the cryptocurrency market is also in sync with the stock market, which was hit by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike. Accordingly, we are focusing on the possibility that Bitcoin’s downtrend will continue for the time being.
According to him, billionaire cryptocurrency investor Michael Novogratz said that the situation could worsen in the future.
