There was some breather in the cryptocurrency market from bears amidst positive global equities. Although, investors are now focusing on policy outcomes of the US Federal Reserves under which another rate hike is on cards. Also, investors will keenly watch the European Central Bank which is expected to hike key interest rates for the first time since 2011 later this week.
There has been a co-relation between the cryptocurrency market and the global equities amidst macroeconomic uncertainties. The US has clocked inflation of 9.1% - the highest since November 1981. The cryptocurrency market did face the brunt in the form of panic selling last week.
The market currently faces liquidity scarcity. Celsius which halted withdrawals in June due to heavy losses arising from a deep depression in the crypto market -- has this week voluntarily filed for bankruptcy. Other exchanges like exchanges Binance, CoinFlex, Vauld, and Voyager Digital among others have also halted their withdrawals. Also, markets face the liquidation of hedge funds like Three Capital Arrows (3AC).
