Bitcoin’s Price Tumbles Below $18K

On December 13th, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics បោះពុម្ភ the numbers for the Consumer Price Index, which is used to gauge the levels of inflation in the country. They came in at 7.1% for November, which was below the expected 7.3%. Naturally, this led to an increase in the market, and BTC’s price soared to over $18K shortly after.

However, during the FOMC meeting yesterday, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell បានប្រកាស another interest rate hike of 50 basis points, which had the exact opposite effect on the price.

As seen in the above chart, BTC’s price reached an intraday high of around $18,387 (on Binance) but failed to sustain the rally and is currently trading at around $17,600.

Altcoins Have it Worse

The entire market is painted red, but it appears that altcoins have it worse than Bitcoin. The BTC dominance is a testament to this. it increased by 0.4% in the past 24 hours, indicating the growing share of BTC relative to that of the rest of the market.

However, it’s worth noting that it’s still up by almost 30% in the past seven days.

On the other hand, XDC and IMX managed to pull ahead, charting 7% and 4.7% gains, respectively.

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization was pushed below $900 million on this latest dip.
