Cryptocurrency markets had a bad day on Thursday. Bitcoin dropped below $112,000 for the first time in a month. Ethereum fell to $4,205.

This happened because people were waiting for Jerome Powell's speech. Bitcoin lost 1.28% and Ethereum lost 1.42%. Other coins also lost money.

Over $220 million was lost from crypto markets in one day. However, big investors bought more than 16,000 Bitcoin when prices were low. This might mean prices could go up soon.
