The crypto market continues to decline due to rising US inflation and anticipation of Donald Trump's Liberation Day.
Bitcoin Crash and Altcoin Decline
Bitcoin fell below $84,000, down more than 5.5% from its peak this week. Most altcoins also saw declines, including Polygon, JasmyCoin, Bonk, and Injective, falling by more than 10%.
Reasons for Market Decline
The main cause of the crypto market crash was a report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which showed US inflation rose in February. This increased the odds of a more hawkish Federal Reserve policy this year.
