Cryptocurrencies are stabilizing, maneuvering through the fluctuations of global financial markets that are currently facing uncertainties arising from the Middle East conflict. Investors are gearing up for important upcoming events, such as the release of inflation data and the shift to a new Fed leadership. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has increased by more than half a percent in the past 24 hours. New uncertainty surrounded the Middle East peace process as President Trump brushed off Iran’s response to the peace plan. As crude oil experienced a rally, bond yields surged and the dollar gained strength in reaction to the unfolding events, gold prices have seen a drop. Consumer price readings set to be released from the U.S. on Tuesday morning are expected to indicate a rise in annual headline inflation along with month-on-month core inflation.

Amidst ongoing concerns regarding the effects of energy price shocks on inflation, CoinMarketCap’s Fear and Greed Index, which gauges sentiment in the crypto market, has decreased further into the “neutral” zone, dropping to 50 from 52 just a day prior. The somewhat positive sentiment in the markets is also reflected in the 24-hour liquidation numbers.
