Market commentary
CoinMarketCap AI commentary (attributed, not independently verified)
Bitcoin is down 3% to $81,085.27 in 24h, underperforming a flat S&P 500 but moving in lockstep with a broader crypto market selloff, primarily driven by a hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation report. It shows a strong correlation (96.6%) with the S&P 500, indicating a shared macro-driven move.
