Why Is Crypto Down Today? BTC, XRP, SOL Wait for Catalyst
The cryptocurrency market faced a sudden wave of selloffs as July started, ending the accumulation spree that came after June 22.
The global crypto market capitalization fell 0.15% in 24 hours to $3.29 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap data. Bitcoin BTC $107 645 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $2.14 T Vol. 24h: $28.05 B continued its consolidation around the $107,000 mark.
XRP XRP $2.19 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $129.07 B Vol. 24h: $2.37 B and Solana SOL $149.0 24h volatility: 0.1% Market cap: $79.65 B Vol. 24h: $3.60 B declined 1.4% and 1.1% over the past day. XRP is trading at $2.19, and SOL price is hovering close to $150.
CoinMarketCap data shows that the total crypto trading volume also declined 3%, falling below the $100 billion zone. The drop in trading volume suggests that the selling pressure hasn’t increased; instead, investors and traders are playing the waiting game.
The fear and greed index fell from 50 to 46, showing a mild increase in bearish sentiment, but it is still hovering in the neutral zone.
Where Is Bullish Catalyst?
Right now, everyone is looking for the ultimate catalyst that could trigger a stronger bull run. But the macro and micro indicators could hint at a delay before rising again.
For instance, the US M2 money supply reached a new all-time high of $21.94 trillion today.

This could suggest the potential rise of inflation, which is still not fully under control, again.
Despite a sharp fall from 5.3% in May 2023 to 2.8% in May this year, the US Consumer Price Index is still a big puzzle for the US Federal Reserve to fix.
Raphael Bostic, the president of the Atlanta Fed, says it’s highly unlikely that the interest rates would see a cut at the July 29-30 FOMC meeting due to the new tariff regime in the US.
Bitcoin also saw a decline in demand as June came to an end, which would consequently put pressure on the asset. Spot BTC ETFs in the US also saw a net outflow of $342.2 million on July 1 for the first time since June 6.
