Crypto Market Sees Continued Downturn Amid Absence of Positive Catalysts

Crypto News – On Friday, September 22, the crypto market remained in a downward trend, lacking any positive catalysts to boost investor sentiment. Ongoing volatility erased recent gains, causing major cryptocurrencies to decline. The crypto market fear and greed index reflected a sentiment of “fear” among market participants, standing at 39.

The recent indication from the U.S. Federal Reserve regarding potential further interest rate hikes this year might have dampened investor sentiment. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, fell below the $27,000 mark on Friday, trading at $26,647.62 during this period, marking a 1.62% decrease from the previous day. However, its volume saw an increase of 4.96% to $13.75 billion.

Similarly, Ethereum price dropped by 1.81% to $1,594.75, with a 1.21% decrease in volume over the last 24 hours to $5.15 billion. Over the week, Ethereum price experienced a decline of 2.33% on Friday.

Solana saw a 2.15% decline in price to $19.69, while its volume increased by 7.20% to $260.32 million. On the other hand, Toncoin’s price slipped by 2.83% to $2.31 during this time. Despite the losses, recent gains helped Toncoin’s price maintain a 20.57% increase over the last seven days.

The recent downturn in the overall financial market, including the cryptocurrency industry, indicates that traders are adopting a cautious approach amid market uncertainties. The global crypto market cap was down by 1.45% to $1.06 trillion on Friday, with the volume surging by 764.72% to $242.86 billion from the previous day.
