Crypto Market Daily Highlights – XRP Five Day Winning Streak Ends

Key Insights:

  • It was a bearish day for the crypto top ten on Saturday, with ripple (XRP) seeing a five-day winning streak end.
  • Friday’s US jobs report continued to resonate, with the threat of a more hawkish Fed weighing on risk appetite.
  • The bearish session led the crypto market cap down $6.3 billion to $901.3 billion for the day.

It was a bearish Saturday session for the crypto top ten. XRP saw a five-day winning streak end, with BTC falling short of $20,000 for the first time in five sessions.

Friday’s US jobs report continued weighing investor appetite. A fall in the US unemployment rate to 3.5% allows the Fed to take a more aggressive path to bring inflation to target.

With a 75-basis point Fed rate hike for November baked in, the markets are looking toward the December move. The FedWatch tool gives a 63.1% probability of the Federal Funds Rate ending the year at 4.5% and a 23.4% chance of ending the year at 4.75%. One week ago, the probability of the Federal Funds Rate rising to 4.75% in December was 0%.

Following the NASDAQ 100’s 3.80% tumble on Friday, we expect the NASDAQ 100 Mini to influence the crypto market in the final hour (UTC) of today’s session. A lack of crypto news leaves the broader crypto market in the hands of the Fed, reflected in the continued crypto correlation with the NASDAQ.
