Weekly Highlights And Market Emotion

The positive performance of the major cryptos suggested that the investors might have shrugged off concerns over the U.S. consumer price index and producer price index data coming hotter than expected. The market anticipates that the Federal Reserve might ease its hawkish stance with its rate hike plans for now, despite the still-high inflation.

The week has sparked fears in the crypto market, especially after FTX received approval from a Federal Judge to liquidate its holdings. Amid other ongoing regulatory hurdles, the FTX news of liquidating its $3.4 billion worth of holdings has caused panic among several investors.

However, the recent performance suggested otherwise, indicating an optimistic mood of the market participants. Meanwhile, the global crypto market cap rose 0.96% from yesterday and was at $1.06 trillion, while its trading volume noted a decline of 5.40% to $25.28 billion.
