Bitcoin Lowest in a Month, Ether, Solana Drop Sharply; Full List
“Bitcoin corrected significantly to drop below $36,000. Bitcoin fell by 8 per cent in a single day as the overall stock markets fell sharply with the FOMC announcing the 0.5 per cent point hike in the interest rate. Further, the increasing outflow of BTC from exchanges also sparked a bearish sentiment among investors. The daily trend for BTC has broken out of the long formed triangle pattern. The next resistance is expected at $48,600 and an immediate support for BTC is expected at $33,100 levels,” said the WazirX Trade Desk.
“The global crypto and stock markets continue to move south as sellers dominated the traditional and crypto markets throughout the week. The overall crypto market is down almost 4 per cent with Bitcoin shedding 10 per cent to find a new lower support level while Ether dropped by 4 per cent. TRX was one of the very few crypto assets to trade in green and saw a jump of roughly 3.5 per cent,” said Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin.
“The outcome of the Federal Open Markets Committee and press briefing by Fed chief Jerome Powell gave a slight push to the crypto market as the committee decided to raise the interest rate by 50 basis points and chalked out plans to cool down inflation. Most of the crypto gains were short-lived and the crypto market nosedived again after sellers returned to the market,” he added.
