Bitcoin Weekly (8/29/2022)

Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled below $20K once again after a rough week for most assets before climbing back up over the mark today. Bitcoin took a bit of a beating thanks to a couple of factors last week. The Federal Reserve signaled a hawkish stand on inflation at Jackson Hole letting global bankers now they are looking to continue to raise interest rates. Hopefully, they will stay quiet until their September rate hike announcement towards the end of next month. Combine this with the US dollar hitting, to which BTC moves inversely, a 20-year high and those factors were sure to drive the price of Bitcoin and other risk-on assets downwards. Fed Chair Jerome Powell comments did not sit well for stocks either and that trend could continue into this week which would be continued bad news for crypto. “Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time. The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy,” Powell stated making it clear what the Fed intends to do next. The comments rocked the markets on Friday which lost more than $2 trillion or more than the market capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market in one day. The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 25 down 4 points from last week and moves back into the "extreme fear" range as investors reacted to Fed Chair's comments and the dollar hitting its highest level since September of 2002. **Ten Must-Read Bitcoin Articles This Week** Who Cares About Bitcoin Maximalism?
