📊 Lead Story

Digital Assets Face Broad Correction as Markets Await Tomorrow's Fed Decision

Cryptocurrency markets experienced significant selling pressure Tuesday, with Bitcoin declining 3.87% to $103,764 amid broad-based weakness across digital assets. All ten major cryptocurrencies posted losses, led by Hyperliquid's sharp 13.68% decline, as investors engaged in profit-taking ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve policy decision. Despite the selloff, Bitcoin maintained critical support above $100,000 while institutional demand remained robust with $433.9 million in Bitcoin ETF inflows.

The correction comes after recent strength, with the Fear & Greed Index remaining neutral at 53, suggesting measured investor sentiment rather than panic selling. The S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index posted a strong +4.12% daily gain, indicating broader digital asset sector resilience despite individual token volatility.
