Cryptocurrency market continues to fall

Bitcoin started Tuesday morning by moving sideways, as the coin traded at $16,134.

According to cryptocurrency price tracking website CoinMarketCap, over the past 24 hours, bitcoin's highest price was $16,246, while its lowest was $15,599.

At the same time, on Monday, bearish sentiment prevailed in the cryptocurrency market and BTC updated weekly lows below $16,000.

Experts believe that bitcoin fell mainly due to the decline in U.S. stock indices on Monday. The S&P 500 index fell by 0.39%, the NASDAQ Composite fell by 1.09%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.13%.

Since the beginning of 2022 analysts increasingly began to emphasize the high level of correlation between the U.S. securities market and virtual assets amid tense expectations of both of the consequences of the geopolitical conflict in eastern Europe and the further steps of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Earlier, Arcane Research analysts already stated that bitcoin's correlation to tech stocks has climbed to highs not seen since July 2020.

In addition, economists of analytical platform TradingView said that the correlation of the cryptocurrency market with the U.S. stock market in the past quarter reached 70%.

Altcoin market
Ethereum, bitcoin's main competitor, also started Tuesday with sideways movement. The coin was trading at $1,128.

As for cryptocurrencies from the top 10 by capitalization, Polygon (+2.32%) had the best results, while Ethereum (-1.43%) had the worst.

According to last week's results, Polygon coin (-13.99%) topped the list of the top ten strongest digital assets.

According to CoinGecko, the world's largest aggregator of data on virtual assets, in the last 24 hours the Huobi Token (+11.13%) was in first place among the top 100 most capitalized digital assets in terms of growth, while the UNUS SED LEO (-13.91%) coin had the worst results.

According to the results of the past week, the digital asset NEAR Protocol (-21.46%) showed the worst results among the top hundred of the strongest digital assets, while Litecoin (+7.63%) showed the best results.

According to CoinGecko, as of Tuesday morning, the global cryptocurrency market cap failed to settle above the important key level of $850 billion and stands at $834.845 billion.

Since November 2021, when the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies exceeded the $3 trillion level, it has more than tripled.

Fed considers decelerating rate hike pace. Will US dollar slow down?

The European currency managed to outperform the US dollar by the end of the week. Following the release of the FOMC meeting minutes, USD significantly declined. Meanwhile, the euro managed to get a head start and use the situation to consolidate its positions.

On Thursday, November 24, the US dollar fell considerably against other major currencies, especially against the euro. The decline was caused by increased risk appetite in the markets, which followed the release of the FOMC meeting minutes for November. In this situation, the euro rallied strongly, trying to recoup its earlier losses. Early on Thursday, EUR/USD was trading near 1.0435, advancing from its previous level of 1.0395.

On Wednesday, November 23, the Fed published the minutes of its November policy meeting, which indicated that the regulator plans to slow down the pace of interest rate hikes in the near future. This year, the Fed increased its benchmark rate six times. Most analysts (76%) expect the Fed to raise its interest rate again in December to a target range of 4.25%-4.5% from the current 3.75%-4%. This rate hike is expected to be smaller than the previous ones.

GOLD REBOUNDS ON DOLLAR PULLBACK

Gold rebounded on Tuesday, after having fallen around 1 percent in the previous session in the wake of hawkish comments from St. Louis Fed President James Bullard.

Spot gold climbed 0.8 percent to $1,754.76 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures were up 0.8 percent at $1,753.40.

The dollar fell against its rivals today as optimism surrounding China's reopening offset rate-hike fears.

U.S. Treasury yields pulled back despite U.S. Fed officials James Bullard and John Williams reiterating their hawkish stance on further rate hikes.

Euro zone government bond yields fell broadly after inflation in Spain and in Germany's most populous state came in below expectations.

Financial markets ae excited about some sort of reopening in China, apparently to quell public anger against COVID-19 curbs.

China reported a slight dip in new COVID-19 infections and also stepped-up support for the country's property sector, further aiding risk sentiment.

SINGAPORE PRIVATE SECTOR SLOWS IN NOVEMBER - S&P GLOBAL

The private sector in Singapore continued to expand in November, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Monday with a PMI score of 56.2.

That's down from 57.7 in October, although it remains well above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Private sector activity continued to expand at a robust pace midway into the final quarter of 2022 but saw the rate of expansion moderate from October's high. Survey respondents remarked that virus-related disruptions underpinned the slowdown. Indeed, lead times lengthened at a substantial rate in November amid reports of COVID-19 related delays and manpower constraints.

Overall demand, including external demand, meanwhile remained a key driver behind the growth in activity but likewise saw the rate of expansion slow in November.
