Bitcoin has been on a continued downfall after losing close to 33% over the last seven days. In the last 24 hours, BTC lost close to 6% and was moving towards its next support level. There has been immense choppiness in the market, with BTC steadying around the support level of $23,000 and then falling right through that level again.
Bitcoin again bounced off the $20,000 price level as it was trading slightly above that level at the time of writing. Fall from the current price level can push the coin towards the $17,000 support mark.
Traditional financial markets also have suffered the brunt after the US Federal Reserve decided to hike up interest rates by at least 50-basis points.
Sellers have taken over the market as the bears have driven all the buyers out of the market at the time of writing.
