Bitcoin - Will the FED crush dreams and hopes today?
已更新
Today, we await a much anticipated FED meeting, with central bankers expected to raise interest rates in the range between 75 bps to 100 bps. Over the past few weeks, we said that more rate hikes would put additional pressure on the U.S. economy and drag it into a deeper recession. As a result, we expect such a period to be accompanied by risk aversion, leading to a selloff in the general stock market and cryptocurrency sector.
Although we do not rule out the initial bounce up in the price of Bitcoin after the FED decision (though we expect it to be short-lived if it occurs). Our reasoning is that many investors will be (again) on the lookout for the FED pivot. However, we do not think the FED will backtrack its monetary policy in 2022; quite contrarily, we believe the FED will pursue the path of tightening throughout 2023, further deteriorating economic conditions.
The same grim story is told by volume hovering around monthly lows and by many technical indicators flashing warning signs across the board. Daily, weekly, and monthly time frames are all bearish, which is ideal for the continuation of the downtrend. Therefore, we have no reason to change our view on Bitcoin. Accordingly, we remain bearish, and our price targets stay at 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD.
