“Bitcoin posted positive momentum over the long weekend and remained largely green this week. However, the $22,000-$23,000 zone still remains a challenge,” wrote Joe DiPasquale, the chief executive officer of bitcoin and crypto hedge fund BitBull Capital, in emailed comments adding the Fed’s monetary tightening policy is his opinion after the most significant event on Bitcoin’s immediate timeline.
“That [Fed’s] For now, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting later this month remains the big event that can bring volatility back to the market.”
