Bitcoin (BTC) Decrease in the Upside Momentum Traders Facing Selling Pressure

The US Federal Reserve’s Interest rate decision is based on a goal to reduce inflation. The expectation is for the Fed to raise the fund rates by 50 basis points.  The markets anticipate the federal funds rate to exceed 3% by early 2023.

Uncertainty is seen among traders in lieu of the interest rate decision, as when executed this rate hike is expected to be the first half point rise in 22 years.  The Fed is expected to increase the rates quickly in order to slow down inflation. The interest rates in several Central Banks across the world has also been increased.

The interest rate factor, slower economic growth, and tighter monetary policy has weighed on speculative assets including stocks and cryptocurrency.

The losses incurred by short term holders is worse.  Macroeconomic risk has created uncertainty paving way for a higher short-term volatility.  The volatility factor is expected to rally further following the Fed decision. However, for those who know the trading business will find the opportunity suitable to sell volatility.
