Recent Trends in Bitcoin and Altcoin Markets
In the past seven days, many leading altcoins have witnessed significant declines, with some plummeting over 5%. However, as Bitcoin (BTC) reclaims the $63,000 mark today, it signals recovery, aiding the stabilization of the shaken altcoins.
Current State of Bitcoin and Altcoins
According to data from CoinGecko, Solana (SOL) emerges as the altcoin with the most significant value loss among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, dropping over 5% in the last seven days. Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) also exhibit notable declines, ranging from 3% to 5%. XRP, associated with Ripple, has similarly experienced a 3% decline over the past week, approaching horizontal support levels as per the 100eyesCrypto indicator.
Ethereum (ETH), the king of altcoins, has traded below Bitcoin's performance, facing a drop of over 6% in the last seven days.
Bitcoin has remained relatively stable over the past week, experiencing a modest decline of 3.12%, currently trading just above $63,000 at $63,040. While the largest cryptocurrency continues to consolidate between $60,000 and $64,000, its market dominance is increasing.
Investors Anticipate Consumer Price Index Data on May 15
The cryptocurrency market currently lacks a clear bullish catalyst to drive prices higher, resulting in subdued investor sentiment. However, all eyes are on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data scheduled for release on May 15, which has the potential to increase volatility in the cryptocurrency market in the following days and weeks.

Importance of CPI Data
The CPI data holds immense significance as it could significantly influence the market's direction. If inflation data falls below expectations, it may prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to consider interest rate cuts, fostering optimism and potentially leading to increased economic activity, which could positively impact Bitcoin and altcoin prices.
Conversely, a disappointing CPI result could negatively impact market sentiment, leading to a decline in Bitcoin and altcoin prices. Therefore, investors eagerly await the CPI data to gain insights into future Fed monetary policy decisions and their potential impact on the markets.
