Another account said, “If the USA Fed hikes interest rates by the expected 75bps, it might cause a pump for Bitcoin today.”
If the USA Fed hikes interest rates by the expected 75bps, it might cause a pump for #Bitcoin today.
When they hike interest rates by 100bps, it would be bearish and it could result in a further dump.
