Considering the fact that everything around it is falling, declining, and plunging, the BTC is doing a good job. On Friday, the major cryptocurrency is balancing at $30,075.

The US stock market plummeted yesterday. The S&P 500 index broke 4,100 пунктов and may continue falling towards 3,600 if the conditions remain as questionable and disturbing as before. There is a correlation between S&P 500/NASDAQ and the BTC, although it’s been much weaker this week.

The BTC and the uptrend didn’t get along very well recently – but it’s rather clear why due to the market conditions. However, bears are also in no hurry to attack. The range of $28,000-$31,590 doesn’t let the BTC go, and the longer its borders remain solid, the stronger a breakout of this “flat” later will be .

The US inflation statistics for Mat will be the highlight of the day. The report is very important in anticipation of the upcoming US Fed meeting scheduled for the next week. In the evening, global markets may get more volatile.
