Bitcoin, on Friday, September 13, posted minor losses of about 0.77 percent across both national and international exchanges. According to CoinMarketCap, BTC's value dropped to $57,854 (roughly Rs. 48.5 lakh) on global exchanges. However, on Indian platforms like CoinSwitch and CoinDCX, the leading cryptocurrency traded at $60,708 (roughly Rs. 50.9 lakh). In the US, the Producer Price Index (PPI) outpaced expectations, while unemployment figures slightly exceeded forecasts in recent days. These mixed economic signals have contributed to increased volatility in the crypto market.
“In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has shown resilience, trading around $57,916 (roughly Rs. 48.6 lakh) despite volatility due to mixed US macroeconomic data. With leverage in the Bitcoin market increasing to 0.2060, the highest since October 2023, traders are willing to take on more risk, indicating the potential for heightened volatility. The market remains optimistic as institutional demand increases, with ETFs showing renewed inflows,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin told Gadgets360.
Ether reflected a loss of 0.70 percent on Friday. On international and national exchanges, the asset is trading at $2,350 (roughly Rs. 1.97 lakh) and $2,484 (roughly Rs. 2.08 lakh) respectively.
“Investors are reacting to broader market trends and new inflows into crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As anticipation builds for next week's crucial FOMC meeting, where the Fed is expected to announce a 25-basis point interest rate cut, there is optimism that this could positively impact the crypto market,” Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO, Pi42 told Gadgets360.
The overall crypto market cap saw a minor dip of 0.49 percent in the last 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap. The valuation of the crypto sector presently stands at $2.04 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,71,22,648 crore).
“AI tokens, in particular, are demonstrating strength, correlating with NVDA's impressive performance, which is up by more than 10 percent over the last three days. Looking ahead, next week's Fed Funds rate data will be a key event and could introduce significant volatility to the market,” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets360.
