  • Traders are de-risking on concerns that the upcoming inflation data could reinforce higher-for-longer rate expectations, pressuring speculative assets like crypto.
  • Macro risk-off sentiment and a tech-led equity pullback are driving Bitcoin below recent support levels, dragging spot ETFs meaningfully lower.
  • Market participants are repositioning ahead of the data release, which is expected to provide clarity on the Federal Reserve's future interest rate path.
