Bitcoin (BTC) had a 0.11% decline on Monday. On Sunday, BTC lost 0.32% of its value and finished the day at $21,773. BTC finished the day below $22,000 for the seventh straight session.


After a rocky beginning, BTC increased to a high of $21,905 in the middle of the day. BTC declined to a late-afternoon low of $21,354 after failing to surpass the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $22,039 in the morning. Before closing the day at $21,773, BTC momentarily breached the First Major Support Level (S1) at $21,609 and the Second Major Support Level (S2) at $21,423.


The SEC's action against Paxos and Binance USD caused BTC to decline.


There were no US economic indications to distract investors on Monday. Paxos and Binance USD (BUSD) were the SEC's most recent targets after hearing that Kraken had reached a settlement with the agency and would no longer provide US cryptocurrency staking services.


News of the SEC intending to sue Paxos over the release and listing of Binance USD broke on Monday (BUSD). The company violated investor protection regulations, according to the SEC. In a statement in response to the Wells notice, Paxos said that it is ready to go to court if required. Because BUSD is not a security under federal securities laws, Paxos further indicated that it unequivocally disagrees with the SEC staff.


The SEC's actions against stablecoins and crypto staking will increase investor apprehension and market volatility.


The NASDAQ Composite Index provided support ahead of today's US CPI Report, limiting the downside for bitcoin. The NASDAQ increased by 1.48% on Monday.


Updates from FTX, Genesis, and Silvergate Bank today need attention. However, in addition to any Fed statement, the NASDAQ Composite Index and SEC chitchat will provide guidance. A sudden increase in US inflation and aggressive Fed talk would be bad for bitcoin. After the US CPI Report, FOMC members Logan and Williams will speak.
