This has resulted in a significant drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum funding rates, marking a sharp decline in profitability for market trades.<\/p>\n<p>The current market turmoil is linked to multiple factors, including a surge in the Japanese yen, disappointing U.S. jobs data, concerns about the Federal Reserve\u2019s ability to manage the economy, and the deflating AI bubble. The yen\u2019s rise has particularly contributed to increased volatility as traders unwind carry trades.<\/p>\n<p>Bitfinex analysts suggest that the crypto sell-off is driven by these macroeconomic issues, with potential support expected around $48,900. Without a shift towards bullish momentum, this support level may face further tests depending on the macroeconomic landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cryptocurrency
