Crypto Market Crash: BTC, ETH, XRP, & DOGE Decline
CoinMarketCap data shows that a crypto market crash occurred, with the Bitcoin price sharply dropping below $83,000 from a daily high of around $84,400. Altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and DOGE also witnessed sharp declines.
This market crash occurred following the release of weak ISM manufacturing PMI and JOLTS data. The March PMI data dropped to 49, below expectations of 49.5 and lower than the 50 recorded in February.
The US JOLTS job openings for February came in at 7.568 million, below the expected 7.690 million and lower than the 7.762 million recorded in January. These data add to several macro fundamentals that paint a bearish outlook for the market.
This crypto market crash could persist, with China, Japan, and South Korea agreeing to respond to Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. Trump is set to announce a number of reciprocal tariffs tomorrow, which could significantly harm the market as it sets off a trade war between the US and other nations.
