#MarketPullback **#MarketPullback: Market retreat ignites caution after strong rally**
Cryptocurrencies and stocks are experiencing sharp selling pressures:
- **#Bitcoin** drops **8%** weekly (around **$96,000**) after rising above 105K$ .
- **Nasdaq Index** declines **3.5%** due to ongoing inflation fears.
- **Gold** retreats for the first time in 4 months (**$2,380/ounce**).
### Main Reasons:
1. **US inflation data**: Higher than expectations (3.4% annually).
2. **Federal Reserve statements**: Delay in interest rate cuts.
3. **Disappointing corporate earnings**: Technology and energy sectors weaker than expected.
