Bitcoin hits new 9-month highs above $28K as markets flipflop over FOMC

Bitcoin price action targets $28,500 with “all classes” buying BTC, but the odds of the Fed pausing rate hikes are decreasing by the hour.

After Wall Street opened on March 21st, BTC set a new record for September, with the Fed meeting setting important interest rates that Brooks no delay.

Despite the conventional wisdom of the Fed meeting, the price of Bitcoin is still soaring

The Fed meeting will announce an increase in benchmark interest rates on March 22, ending the cycle known as waiting for benefits for risky assets.

"I'm interested in tomorrow's conclusion," wrote Priscilla L van der Pope, a Cointelegraph soft writer and CEO of the founder of the trading company Eight, who updated an article on Twitter.

"the recessive rush to the top and narrowing the gap between the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has put everyone in a desperate situation, creating a bullish contradiction is an idealized concept. Important area: $28700.

"the replacement coin is bleeding, while Bitcoin is still sorting out sideways around the high point. This is not the sign you see. Van der Popp warned earlier.
