- The crypto market maintained its over $2 trillion capitalization.
- Anticipation about the FOMC and CPI reports have contributed to the crypto decline.
The crypto market has experienced a massive decline in the last 24 hours, with millions of dollars wiped off the market capitalization.
The declines in Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] have played a significant role in this downturn.
More specifically, the upcoming U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports have contributed largely to the decline of the two biggest crypto assets.

CPI and FOMC causing panic
Historically, when the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is released or the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) adjusts interest rates, the crypto market often experiences significant fluctuations.
This is because investors adjust their risk exposure in response to these economic indicators. Typically, a rise in CPI correlates with a drop in Bitcoin’s price.

Increases in essential goods reduce the amount of disposable income people have, leading to decreased investment in crypto.
The FOMC is anticipated to maintain the current interest rates between 5.25% and 5.50%. Meanwhile, the CPI is expected to show a modest increase, staying within the range of 0.1% to 0.3%.
