The price of Bitcoin has been significantly influenced by the data of the United States in the past. The Federal Reserve’s income data and interest rate announcements have caused a decrease in the price of the cryptocurrency in previous periods. Additionally, historical data shows that a strengthening dollar usually leads to a decrease in the cryptocurrency markets. Here is the latest update on the expected data!
US PMI Data!
The eagerly awaited US Services PMI data for the cryptocurrency markets and general markets has been announced just minutes ago.

The data is critical for the US economy and experts believe that it could have significant effects on cryptocurrencies in the coming days. Furthermore, it is noted that a strong US economy could support the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes in the future.
