BTC is over $24,000 again
cryptocoin.com As you follow, the inflation data of the USA, which reached the highest level of the last 40 years, pushed the Federal Reserve to aggressive interest rate increases. The liquidity, which became abundant with the effect of the expansionary monetary policy during the pandemic period, began to withdraw. The situation that once flowed into the crypto money market and caused a strong bull run was thus reversed. The Bitcoin and altcoin market, which peaked towards the end of 2021, saw sharp declines.
Since May, the crypto industry has experienced massive sell-offs due to the recent market crash that hit the entire global financial market and hit investors with huge losses. The disastrous collapse of Terra (LUNA) Blockchain in May triggered the current negative market conditions. Many of the best companies in the space, such as Three Arrows Capital (3AC) and Voyager Digital, went bankrupt. Or suspended their services.
In this environment, the leading crypto Bitcoin (BTC) fell from its all-time high of $ 69 thousand to $ 17 thousand. However, there is a softening in US inflation data after aggressive rate hikes. Markets see this as a sign that the Fed’s hawkish stance will fade. In this environment, Bitcoin started a rally at the level of 17 thousand dollars. Today, it managed to rise above the $24,000 level again.
