The BTC lost its foothold and dropped to 22,787 USD. The decline over the week amounts to 3.95%.
After last Friday the US employment statistics was out, investors got anxious about future reactions of the Fed. The report was strong, which could assure the Fed about further tightening the credit and monetary policy. This is bad for the stock market, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices, with whom the BTC has quite a serious correlation.
An important support level is 23,000 USD. The faster the BTC returns above it, the better.
Capitalisation of the crypto market is 1.056 trillion USD. This result has lasted above trillion for 3 weeks, which gives reasons for being cautiously optimistic: investors are beginning to act. The BTC takes up 41.5% of the market and the ETH – 18.7%.
