The cryptocurrency market and the larger market continue to have a close correlation. It has a strong correlation with the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100.
The S&P 500 dropped 2.80% over the past day. The NASDAQ 100 had an almost 4% decline over the previous 24 hours. It is, therefore, not surprising that the cryptocurrency market also declined.
