Bitcoin plunges to $22k as hawkish comments from Powell roil financial markets Bitcoin BTC crypto
- The downward pressure that the crypto market has faced in recent days was magnified on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled that the central bank will indeed need to increase interest rates higher and for longer as it struggles to get a handle on stubborn inflation.
Data from TradingView shows that Bitcoin briefly nosedived to $22,000 following Powell’s testimony but quickly sprang back above $22,400 before proceeding to slowly drift lower throughout the remainder of the day, trading back near support at $22,000 at the time of writing.
“Our view is that conservatively, the case for this being a higher low becomes viable above the highest daily resistance i.e. $23700. More aggressively, the argument can be made above the lower boundary at $22600.”Technical Roundup's interpretation of the current market structure is based on two factors: the choppiness experienced in this range and the fact that the more well-defined support levels are closer to $20,000.
