The upcoming Fed meeting may provoke another drop in the crypto market

Analysts of the cryptocurrency industry note that the crypto market did not show significant changes over the weekend. The total capitalization of cryptocurrencies has dropped to $ 2.25 trillion at the time of writing.

This week’s economic calendar may cause even greater volatility in virtual assets, as key inflation data will be published, as well as a number of speeches by representatives of the US Federal Reserve, which may indicate the direction of monetary policy in the future.

On Tuesday, May 14, the core PPI (producer price index) report will be released, which reflects the prices of inputs, directly affecting retail pricing. It is considered a preliminary indicator of inflationary pressures, making it a leading indicator for the CPI (consumer price index) report to be released next month.
