Cryptocurrency markets are in a broad retreat, with the CoinDesk 20 Index falling 5% in the past 24 hours and all constituent tokens showing declines.

Market attention is now focused on Friday’s U.S. core PCE report, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation. A higher-than-expected reading could fuel additional volatility across both crypto and broader financial markets.
