The crypto market starts moving down
Market picture
The crypto market lost 1.2% over the past 24 hours to $1.156 trillion. This is a downward move, albeit small, after a long consolidation. Larger currencies have seen less pressure than smaller altcoins. Rising US Treasury yields put pressure on riskier assets and attracted some capital. Thus, Bitcoin lost 0.7% on the day, Ethereum - 1%, and altcoins lost from 6.3% (Solana) to 1.1% (Tron).
According to The Block, bitcoin volatility fell to a record low, with BTC's 30-day volatility on an annualised basis dropping to 15.5% from 61.4% last year. Glassnode also notes the extreme level of apathy and exhaustion amid the drop in volatility.
Bitcoin approached $29.0K after a prolonged consolidation of around $29.4K. Technically, the sell-off in Bitcoin could gain momentum on a break below $28.9K. In this case, the price could quickly fall to $28.0K or even $27.2K.
News background
