The situation around BTC worsened after the asset failed to exceed $ 49,000. In the following hours, BTC continued to decline, slipping below $ 47,000 for the second time in three days.

All eyes were on the FOMC meeting in the United States, as the Federal Reserve was expected to make a statement about its monetary policy and, perhaps most importantly, its plans to deal with rising inflation.

The central bank said it would not change interest rates, which provoked an immediate response for primary cryptocurrencies and other financial markets. BTC jumped nearly $ 4,000 and approached $ 50,000, but was unable to exceed that limit again, as in most previous attempts. To date, the asset has receded several hundred dollars and is close to $ 49,000.

The Altcoins have also suffered recently, but news from the Fed has had a positive impact on most of them. ETH fell below $ 3,800 a few days ago, but a 4% daily increase has driven it above $ 4,000 to date. [1]

BTC analysis – is there a final correction leg or a bounce from the bottom?

ETH analysis – the price confirmed the minimum, but it is far from the end of the flag

An anonymous transfer of Doge’s shares worth $ 850 million before the announcement of Elon Musk

This whale indicator suggests that BTC could experience the September rally

A whale indicator from Santiment, an on-chain analysis firm, suggests that BTC could copy its rally in late September and early November.

According to Santiment, “the number of BTC whale addresses holding between 100 and 1,000 BTCs has 193 addresses more in this prestigious club than just 10 weeks ago. The number of whales at this level has historically striking impressive parallels with the BTC award. ”

This is a good sign for the market, as these addresses tend to grow along with the price of BTC. It should be noted that BTC began to rise from a low of close to $ 40,800 at the end of September and reached a historic high of $ 69,000 on November 10.

Governor Suthiwartnarueput also warned that digital assets are currently highly volatile, although they have the potential to prosper in the monetary system.
