Bitcoin

Yesterday, Bitcoin's price dropped by 1.80% to around $58,125, extending its decline from the local high of $60,670 reached four days ago. The recent pullback comes as traders shift focus to the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision, leading to profit-taking. However, the long bearish wick on the latest daily candlestick indicates a rejection of further downside. This suggests the decline may be due to short-term traders locking in profits ahead of the Fed's announcement rather than a broader bearish trend.
