The cryptocurrency market saw a significant downturn this week, with Bitcoin dropping over 9%, raising concerns about the stability of digital assets.
According to Cointag, Bitcoin’s sharp decline is tied to macroeconomic factors influencing investor sentiment.
Bitcoin is now trading at $53,229 after hitting a low of $52,690, a stark contrast from its peak of $69,044 in 2021 and an all-time high of $73,747 earlier this year. Investors who had hoped for a recovery are now facing heightened concerns as the market reacts to disappointing labor market data, which suggests a cooling U.S. economy.
Ethereum faced an even steeper drop, reaching its lowest price this year, leading to discussions about the sustainability of NFT markets. The latest volatility across the cryptocurrency sector has investors on edge as they grapple with an uncertain market outlook.
