Cryptocurrency prices are down everywhere over the past 24 hours in the midst of wider sales of risk-acting is triggered by elaborating on merchant tensions in the US China.

The White House said China is now “facing a 245% duty on imports” and introduced new restrictions on chip exports to the country. Bitcoin (BTC) fell more than 2.2%, while the wider market, measured by Coindesk 20 (CD20) index, dropped 3.75%.

Nasdaq 100 futures are also down and lose more than 1%, while the S&P 500 futures fell 0.65%. While Bitcoin has remained remarkably stable as the trade war escalated, some measurements suggest that Bull Run may have ended.

The biggest cryptocurrency slipped during its 200-day simple sliding average on March 9, suggesting that “Token’s recent steep decline qualifies this as a bear market cycle starting at the end of March,” Coinbase Institutional said in a note

A risk-adjusted performance measured in standard deviations known as Z-score shows that the Tyrcycle ended in late February, with subsequent activity seen as neutral, according to Coinbase Institutional’s global research manager, David Duong.

“In response, several primary brokers have moved their short-term models from underweight to neutral on risk assets, and noted that the next move is likely to be driven by ‘real’ data,” Jake O. said in an email declaration.

The “real data” will soon come enough, with the US census agency set to release retail data, and Fed -Chairman Jerome Powell gave a speech on financial prospects. Tomorrow, the US Ministry of Labor is releasing unemployment insurance data, and the Census Bureau releases housing construction data, while the ECB is expected to reduce interest rates.

Shakiness in risk assets has provided gold. The precious metal is up to about 26.5% years to date to over $ 3,300 per day. Troy ounces that contrast with the US Dollar Index’s decrease of 9%. Stay aware!
