Cryptocurrencies Remain Under Heavy Selling Pressure -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-05 19:36

1136 GMT - Cryptocurrencies remain under significant selling pressure as they look on course for the sixth consecutive day of losses. Uncertainty over the Middle East conflict, U.S. interest rate rise expectations and persistent outflows in crypto exchange traded funds are weighing on sentiment. Strategy's announcement on Monday that the bitcoin-hoarding firm sold bitcoin for the first time since 2022 has also contributed to this week's losses. Bitcoin falls 2.0% to $62,292 after reaching a four-month low of $61,117 earlier, LSEG data show. Ether drops 5.8% to $1,669 after hitting a one-year low of $1,627 earlier. Solana declines 4.1% to $66.20, having fallen to a two-and-a-half-year low of $63.80 earlier. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
