The cryptocurrency market has fallen for the second consecutive day, with bitcoin and ether each losing approximately 0.75% since midnight UTC. This decline follows bitcoin's failure to surpass the $80,000 resistance level on two occasions over the past week, with the most recent attempt occurring during Asian trading hours on Monday. The enthusiasm from last week's price surge from $70,000 to $79,500 is waning, as several key indicators have turned bearish, including the Coinbase Premium index, which has flipped negative, signaling dwindling demand from US investors.
Meanwhile, US equities are poised to open lower, with Nasdaq 100 futures down 0.5% and the US dollar index up 0.25%. The stalled peace negotiations between Iran and the US continue to influence traditional markets, with Brent crude oil now firmly above $105 per barrel. Additionally, derivatives positioning and other market factors are also being closely watched.
