Why Is Bitcoin and the Crypto Market Falling?
The financial markets are facing turbulence, and Bitcoin, along with the entire crypto market, is feeling the heat. One major reason behind this drop is that S&P futures opened lower, and the Friday low of 5665 points has now become a critical technical level.
US stock futures, including the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, are down. Investors have spent the weekend digesting February’s jobs report and are now bracing for a week packed with crucial economic data, especially inflation numbers. Dow futures have slipped by 0.5%, S&P 500 futures by 0.7%, and Nasdaq futures by 1%.
The markets were already down over 2% last week, and now trade war fears are adding more uncertainty. Tensions between the US, Mexico, and Canada over tariffs are making headlines again. In an interview with Fox News, President Trump tried to calm recession concerns by calling this phase a “period of transition.”
Meanwhile, Mark Carney is stepping in as Canada’s new Prime Minister in the middle of these economic challenges. This week will be key for financial markets as inflation data will play a significant role. The Consumer Price Index report is scheduled for Wednesday, followed by the Producer Price Index on Thursday. These reports will give a clearer picture of where inflation is heading.
On the earnings side, it’s a relatively quiet week, with Oracle and BioNTech reporting on Monday, followed by Adobe on Wednesday.
The crypto market often follows global financial trends, and with stock markets struggling, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are also seeing downward pressure. Investors are closely watching how things unfold in the coming days.
