General situation on the markets and its impact on the price of Bitcoin
The market expected the rate to stop, but the statement of the Federal Open Market Committee hinted at a further increase in the future, reduced investor interest in risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has made it clear that this is just a temporary pause, which could create additional problems for Bitcoin in the long run.
“As I mentioned earlier, almost all committee members expect that by the end of the year it will be appropriate to raise interest rates a little more,” he said at a press conference, referring to the opinion of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
Data on Bitcoin options suggest a further decline in the price, especially if we take into account the actions of regulators in relation to the crypto industry in the United States, combined with the likelihood of further rate hikes by the Fed in the coming months.
