The S&P 500 ended Thursday (11) down -0.88%, while the Nasdaq shrank -1.95%. The Dow Jones +0.08% posted a slight increase. Nasdaq is the only one in negative territory this morning.

This Friday morning (12), Bitcoin is trading at US$56,920, down -2.40%. Over the past 30 days, the largest crypto in the market has suffered losses of -16%. Other altcoins are trading mixed today as Ethereum (ETH) falls.

“Yesterday’s negative CPI caused a strong sell-off in the S&P 500, which could trigger more lows next week. If the correlation continues, this could lead to further declines in BTC, which could reach USD 54,000,” said Fernando Pereira, an analyst at Bidget.
