Cryptocurrencies struggled to hold onto last week’s gains on Monday. The approaching Fed meeting has put pressure on both stock markets and crypto markets on renewed expectations of a steep rate hike.
Stock markets and crypto markets have been experiencing a roller coaster ride, with prices seesawing, as risk sentiment turns from positive to negative almost daily. This week, the Fed monetary policy meeting on Wednesday and the BOE policy meeting on Thursday are expected to cause market volatility that will likely extend to crypto markets as well.
Cryptocurrencies gained bullish momentum last week driving the cryptocurrency market capitalization back above $1 Trillion. Dogecoin price surged, gaining 39% after Elon Musk sealed a highly-anticipated $44 billion deal to take over Twitter.
Bitcoin continued trading above the key $20,000 level on Monday, dropping near $20,300. If BTC declines, support can be found at the psychological level of $20,000 and further down at $19,000, while resistance may be encountered near $21,000 and higher up at $21,800.
