A new report from Coinbase Research indicates that the cryptocurrency market's dependence on global economic events is increasing. This was particularly evident in the context of the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike last week, which triggered the unwinding of yen carry trades, and the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which led to concerns about oil supply. These macroeconomic pressures have significant impacts on investor sentiment and market stability. Analysts at Coinbase observed a notable decrease in leverage in on-chain spot markets, suggesting that investors have become more cautious following recent sharp declines. They anticipate that the price action in cryptocurrencies will continue to be driven by macroeconomic factors in the near term. Looking ahead, Coinbase will enter the third quarter of 2024 with a cautious outlook, based on expectations for U.S. inflation data, which will influence market sentiment.
