A week ago, CoinGape warned about <a href="https://coingape.com/why-is-crypto-market-down-today-btc-crash-to-55k-imminent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price crash</a> potentially to the $57k level near the month’s end due to key macro events and options expiry. Investors are bracing for both US PCE and monthly options expiry on Friday, expecting a sharp correction before the date as the Fed eyes only single rate cuts this year. Moreover, key macro events such as ISM manufacturing data, Fed Chair Powell speech, the FOMC meeting release, and jobs and unemployment rate data are due in the first week of July.
