The BTC/USD pair slipped as investors remained fearful ahead of the upcoming US inflation data. Data compiled by CoinMarketCap shows that the closely-watched Fear and Greed Index slipped to the fear zone of 26. Cryptocurrencies normally drop when there is a sense of fear.

Bitcoin also declined as the US dollar continued rising. The closely-watched US Dollar Index (DXY) jumped to $100, up from the year-to-date low of $96. Bitcoin tends to have an inverse relationship with the US dollar because it is normally priced in the currency.

The BTC/USD pair also pulled back as traders waited for the upcoming talks between the US and China, which are aimed at resolving the ongoing conflicts. Tensions rose this week after media reports said that Donald Trump was considering ending sales of some critical software.

China also ramped up its investigation on some American companies like Analog Devices and Texas Instruments. It is also investigating Qualcomm, a company that makes software used in smartphones and PCs. These tensions also explain why the stock market also crashed on Wednesday.
