Bitcoin lacked support to sustain $28,000 in the early hours, backtracking slightly before nudging $28,200 this morning.
The market leader is still up on the day and week, while Ethereum is also trading strongly at $1,760.
The Federal Reserve is scheduled to announce the latest interest rate decision tomorrow, which has further given investors time for pause, note analysts, with many expecting a 0.25% rate hike.
