Bitcoin’s dominance is currently 48.41%, a decrease of 0.18% over the day, according to CoinMarketCap.”Bitcoin is trading just above $29,000 today with a bearish momentum. The high possibility of a rate hike by the US Fed this week seems to have contributed to this decline,” Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus Crypto Platform, said.
“BTC needs to hold $28,500 in case of a further fall to regain lost value. A rally in the next few weeks is likely once the market accepts a rate hike. Its dominance continues to be below 50%,” Subburaj said.
