Bitcoin’s Price Faces Strong Resistance Post Massive Spike

Bitcoin Faces Severe Selling Pressure as Bulls Domination Fades Bitcoin News
  • The price witnessed a sudden spike and climbed all the way till $35,800 level.

Investors are expecting an eventual rise in Bitcoin prices after the anticipated U.S SEC approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF, which is projected to drive more capital.

Meanwhile, during its meeting in November, the Federal Reserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged. The next decision by the central bank might have far-reaching effects on the price of Bitcoin. The direction of BTC price after its massive October surge may rest on the Fed’s next meeting on December 12.

Analysts agree that macroeconomic reasons, rather than the anticipated approval of spot ETFs, were more responsible for Bitcoin’s recent price increase. The spike has been blamed on a number of factors, including the dovish view of the FOMC and a lower-than-anticipated US Treasury supply estimate.
