Well folks, gather ’round because the crypto market is doing a lovely little faceplant today, July 29. Some of your favorite meme coinsâyes, I’m looking at you, Fartcoin, Bonk, and Dogwifhatâare tumbling down faster than my self-esteem on a bad hair day. We’re talking double-digit falls, people! đ±
- So why the downturn? Buckle up! Itâs that old nemesis: stalling Bitcoin price action. Yawn.
- The Federal Reserve is all set to spill the tea on its interest rate decision this Wednesday. Spoiler: Itâs usually boring! â
- Oh, and just to spice things up, the US has decided to throw a bigger tantrum in its trade war starting August 1. What a surprise! đ
A moment of silence for Bitcoin (BTC), hanging at $118,000 like it’s waiting for its latte on a Monday morning, as most altcoins decided they’d rather take a nap. Our meme trioâFartcoin (FARTCOIN), Dogwifhat (WIF), and Bonk (BONK)âtook a dive of over 13%, while Pudgy Penguins, Pepe, and Avalanche decided they were also not in the mood, dropping by over 8%. Who wouldnât want to join that party? đ
Crypto market down as Bitcoinâs “rally” fades like my New Yearâs resolutions
The main reason weâre seeing this crypto tumble is Bitcoinâs decided to hang out in a tight range this week. Itâs been glued to $118,000âlike my dog to a pizza sliceâfor more than a week as the latest bull run made a quick exit.
Newsflash: Bitcoinâs price, like your exâs text, usually drives the broader crypto market. When it rises, altcoins have their moment to shine, but when it drops or lingers around, itâs a full meltdown for many tokens. Drama! đ
On the bright side, there are whispers that Bitcoinâs playing coy and slowly forming a bullish pennant pattern. Thatâs fancy talk for âwe might actually see more gains soon.â You know, a little vertical line and a triangleâa geometry lesson nobody asked for! đ
Cryptos crash ahead of FOMC decisionâcan we get a collective groan?
Surprise, surprise! The crypto market is dropping like itâs hot because the Federal Reserve is gearing up to drop its interest rate decision this Wednesday. Expect the usual snooze-fest.
Economists think the rates will chill in the 4.25% to 4.50% zone, making us all wonder when we can start seeing interest rate cuts begin. Meanwhile, the CME Fed Futures tool also takes a wild guess, predicting rate cuts might kick off in September. Letâs hope the Fed has some good news to share!
And waitâit gets better! Weâre also hanging onto some key macroeconomic data: GDP estimates on Wednesday, personal consumption expenditures on Thursday, and nonfarm payrolls on Friday. Honestly, itâs like the Olympics of financial metrics, and weâre all just training for the sofa-sitting event.
August 1: Trade wars, tariffs, and major eye rolls
If you thought the crypto market couldnât drop any lower, here comes the upcoming tariff deadline on August 1 to send it crashing further. In classic âhold my beerâ fashion, former President Donald Trump is waving around tariffs from 15% to 50% like theyâre sparkly streamers at a birthday party, targeting countries like South Korea, South Africa, India, and Brazil. Just what we needed! đ
But donât worry, heâs already made lovely deals with the EU, Japan, the Philippines, and the UK. Because why not keep things exciting, right? Expect plenty of volatility, which is absolutely the opposite of stability we crave.
And letâs not forget all those investors cashing out and mean revertingâwhere the market decides that maybe it should just go back home. Itâs like your friend who promises to go out tonight but ends up binge-watching Netflix instead. đș
