Live updates: Bitcoin slips back even as Fed rate hike expectations dwindle
Extrait:Bitcoin slipped Thursday, briefly falling below $63,000 and trading near $63,100, down about 0.5% in 24 hours, with other major cryptocurrencies seeing similar losses. The move contradicts hopes of a bullish breakout, as BTC remains stuck in a tight range. Declines came despite an improving U.S. interest-rate picture: recent inflation reports have diminished odds of a September Fed rate hike, and the two-year Treasury yield dropped from above 4.30% to 4.14%. Meanwhile, risk appetite favored stocks, with the S&P 500 rising 0.55% to another record high.
Bitcoin finally moved, but it was down
Bitcoin (BTC), by any measure, still remains stuck in a tight trading range, but there has been some movement of note on Thursday.
Sadly for bulls, the coiled spring theory isn‘t yet working. Instead, BTC is headed lower, sliding below $63,000 at one point earlier this afternoon. It’s currently trading at $63,100 down about 0.5% over the past 24 hours. Other crypto majors are seeing similar declines.
The small losses are happening even as the interest rate picture in the U.S. is improving. Decent inflation reports yesterday and today appear to have taken the idea of a September Federal Reserve rate hike off the table.
The two-year Treasury yield, which was above 4.30% just days ago, has slid back to 4.14%, reflecting the sharply lower odds of tighter monetary policy.
Other risk assets — particularly U.S. stocks — continue to be where the action is. Higher by another 0.55% on Thursday, the S&P 500 notched another record high.
