Bitcoin had risen to $ 39, 000 yesterday evening before the Fed statements. With the Fed taking a more hawkish stance than expected, the Bitcoin and altcoin market retracted their early gains and fell to $36,000.
Fed’s hawkish stance and mixed signals last night caused uncertainty in the crypto asset market, causing assets to retreat again. Stating that they are planning to increase interest rates for March, Powell also made statements about the balance sheet contraction. While Bitcoin rose up to $ 39,000 with the interest rate fixed, the statements made by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell caused a decrease again.
