Bitcoin slips below $29,000 as Ethereum loses its grip on $1.8k

Bitcoin and Ethereum are both down by almost 2% in the last day, in line with stock markets, which slid for the second consecutive day following uncertainty around future rate hikes, say the analysts.

The Fed’s latest minutes revealed division among governors about where to go with rate hikes. 

There are few winners in crypto markets today. With the exception of one or two lesser-known alt-coins recording short green candles over 24 hours, it’s mostly red for the large-caps. 

“I agree with the governors that we’re not convinced that inflation is totally in the rearview mirror,” Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia, told Reuters.

“I think the markets will be on pins and needles regarding what the Fed will do all through September and into October.”

What they said yesterday

Right now in financial markets, stocks (well at least 6 of them) are acting like there’s zero chance of a recession. The bond market is signaling there is going to be a big recession. Both can’t be right. I’d bet on the bond market.

Christopher Schwarz, Professor of Finance at UC Irvine
