Bitcoin steady at $22k ahead of US interest rate decision
The price of bitcoin has slipped below $22k again this morning. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation is changing hands for $21,922 at time of writing, down 3 per cent since this time yesterday and 2 per cent since this time last week.
Bitcoin hit a one-month high last Wednesday of more than $24,000, and has looked relatively steady since in a zone between $22-24k. Investor sentiment has also picked up, staying out of Extreme Fear on the Fear and Greed Index for more than a week now.
Ethereum, the second largest crypto by market cap is also down slightly this morning, trading at $1,536.
This week will see the Federal Reserve make a decision on whether to hike interest rates again, with the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) on July 26-27 set to see policymakers decide on the extent of the next interest rate move – tipped by analysts to be either 75 or 100 basis points.
