Why the crypto market is dipping today

Inflation data PPI and CPI surprise readings shook investor confidence

Long liquidations Forced sell-offs amplified sharp price drops

Profit-taking Traders locking gains after earlier summer rally

Fed outlook & macro risk Slower rate cuts and global uncertainty weigh on demand

Treasury policy No new government BTC purchases dampen positive bias

The crypto market is under pressure from a mix of macroeconomic headwinds, technical tipping points, and cooling institutional mood. Spikes in inflation pushed sentiment and forced sell-offs, especially after summer gains. The Fed’s recalibrated stance and the treasury’s decision not to buy more crypto removed safety nets. Right now, eight-figure rallies are taking a breather.
