Crypto Market Daily Highlights – DOGE Led a Mixed Top Ten Session

The top 10 cryptocurrency exchanges had a choppy Thursday session. While BNB and BTC defied the top ten trend, DOGE took the lead. It is noteworthy that BTC missed $17,000 for the sixth time in six sessions.

The crypto market plunged into the red before regaining support as a result of US economic indices and business results.

Initial unemployment claims increased to 216k in the week ending December 16. Economic experts predict a rise to 222k. Additionally, US GDP data for Q3 came in hotter than anticipated. The US economy grew by 3.2% in Q3, up from a preliminary 2.9%. The economy shrank by 0.6% in Q2.

Both reports confirmed the pessimistic Fed and FOMC economic forecasts, which caused riskier assets to decline.

By announcing layoffs in reaction to a decline in demand for computer chips, Micron Technology Inc (MU) contributed to the gloomy sentiment. In reaction, the S&P 500 fell by 1.45% and the NASDAQ Index fell by 2.18%.

The late comeback was brought about by a NASDAQ Index recovery from session lows since there were no crypto news pieces to provide guidance. The main cryptocurrency news item of the day was the $250 million bail posted by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.

US economic statistics and cryptocurrency news wires will provide guidance today. Personal expenditure and US inflation will have an impact. Updates on the FTX and regulatory rumors will also need to be taken into account. The NASDAQ mini was down 27.5 points this morning.

Greater-than-anticipated US inflation data would offer the Fed more justification to maintain its aggressive interest rate trajectory, further escalating concerns about an impending economic crash.
