Crypto Weekly (29/07 – 04/08): Bitcoin Leads the Decline Amid Financial Uncertainty

What happened in the crypto market last week that caused Bitcoin to drop nearly $20,000? Is the upcoming week looking optimistic for BTC? Let's find out!

Bitcoin Leads The Decline Amid Financial Uncertainty

Crypto Market Last Week

The first week of August saw Bitcoin’s dramatic decline, plummeting from $70,000 to $52,000, losing $18,000 in just one week. Notably, Bitcoin dropped $14,000 over the weekend alone.

This sharp drop was triggered by several macroeconomic news items that negatively impacted the crypto market in particular and the entire financial market in general. The Federal Reserve’s (FED) decision to maintain the current interest rates instead of cutting them had a significant adverse effect on the market. Ethereum (ETH) also couldn’t escape the downward trend, dropping to $2,100 despite recently being approved for ETF trading.

Altcoins fared no better, with many halving or even dropping to a third of their value within just a week.
