BTC and ETH trading lower as US shares fall on inflation concern

The US remains focused on economic numbers and whether a slowing economy can offset higher inflation. Expectations are if data releases fail to meet analysis consensus, then we may see inflation peak and therefore a less aggressive US Fed Reserve towards interest rates. This would bee seen as a positive for shares but I suspect only in the short term. US employment data came out stronger than expected and weighed on the US into the weekend as the USD pushed higher and US bonds lower.

Bitcoin and Ethereum remain heavy and gave up recent gains as fast as they were made...prices now pushing down into major lows.

The general trend for major Indexes remains down with the the USD in the driving seat....continuing to be careful into shares as prices could continue the trend lower.
