<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>The cryptocurrency market</strong> has been on a decline since April 8, led by <a href="https://coin-turk.com/kripto-dunyasindan-ukraynaya-destek-bitcoin-btc-bagisi-yagiyor" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> (<a href="https://coin-turk.com/etfler-meyvesini-vermeye-basladi-bitcoin-50-000-dolari-asti-piyasa-bayram-etti" data-wpel-link="internal">BTC</a>), with many <a href="https://coin-turk.com/cardano-rekora-doymuyor-ada-yukselisini-uc-ana-baslikta-inceliyoruz" data-wpel-link="internal">altcoins</a> remaining under intense selling pressure. This market volatility comes as investors await clues on interest rates ahead of the US inflation data announcement. Indeed, the critical inflation data was recently released, showing a 0.4% monthly increase and a 3.5% annual increase in US inflation for March.</p>
