Crypto Market Daily Highlights: DOGE and SOL Lead Top Ten South

Key Insights:

• It was a bearish Sunday session for the crypto top ten, with DOGE and SOL leading the way down.
• There were no external market forces to influence, leaving Fed Fear to test buyer appetite.
• The crypto market cap fell by $19.88 billion to end the day at $1,016 billion.

It was a bearish session for the crypto top ten on Sunday. DOGE and SOL led the way down. BTC ended the day at sub-$23,000 for the first time in five sessions.

There were no crypto events to send BTC and the broader crypto market into the red for a second consecutive session. The lack of FTX, Genesis, and Silvergate Bank updates left Friday’s US Jobs Report and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI survey resonating.

The latest economic indicators from the US suggest that the US will avoid a recession. However, a fall in the unemployment rate to 3.4% gives the Fed room to deliver a hawkish Fed interest rate hike in March. FOMC member chatter and the January CPI Report will now be the focal point for investors.

Today, there are no US economic indicators for investors to consider. The lack of stats will leave FMOC member chatter and the NASDAQ Composite Index to influence. However, investors need to monitor the crypto news wires for FTX, Genesis, and Silvergate Bank updates. Regulatory chatter will also provide direction.

Following the NASDAQ loss on Friday, the NASDAQ mini influenced the final hour (UTC). The NASDAQ mini was down 35.25 points this morning.
