For the second consecutive day, the cryptocurrency market experienced a decline on Tuesday, with both bitcoin and ether losing approximately 0.75% of their value since midnight UTC. This downturn follows bitcoin's failed attempts to break through the $80,000 resistance level over the past week, with the most recent attempt occurring during Asian trading hours on Monday. The enthusiasm that followed last week's significant price surge from $70,000 to $79,500 is starting to wane, as several key price indicators have turned bearish. Notably, the Coinbase Premium index has flipped negative, signaling a decrease in demand from U.S.
investors. Meanwhile, U.S.
equities are poised to open lower on Tuesday, with Nasdaq 100 futures trading 0.5% lower since midnight UTC, while the U.S. dollar index has risen by 0.25%.
The stalled peace negotiations between Iran and the U.S. continue to influence traditional markets, with Brent crude oil now firmly above $105 per barrel.
Additionally, derivatives positioning is also being closely watched.
