<p style="text-align: justify">As the crypto market experiences a downturn, <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/el-salvador-to-launch-volcano-bonds-in-early-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> (<a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/bitcoin-offers-hope-to-investors-with-historical-fractal-similarities" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) has dipped below the $65,000 threshold. Spurring investor concern are the decreasing inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and adverse macroeconomic indicators. With the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates looming, traders are bracing for a potential hike that could further influence market direction.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">The financial community awaits the Federal Reserve’s announcement with a general expectation of a hawkish outcome. Earlier projections of an interest rate reduction have diminished, with the possibility of a significant 75 basis point cut now under consideration. This shift has prompted a drop in Bitcoin’s price, which had been holding above $66,000 just moments prior.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">The fall below the critical $68,000-$69,000 range has cast doubt on Bitcoin’s immediate goal of reaching $80,000. Historical patterns show that investors have weathered losses of 30 to 40 percent during previous halving events. However, current macroeconomic challenges such as sustained inflation and weakening ETF inflows compound market uncertainty. The potential of a net outflow of ETF investments starting Monday could exacerbate the market’s volatility.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Despite the downturn, the <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/bitcoin-lightning-wallet-of-satoshi-removes-mobile-app-from-us-app-stores" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> market remains unpredictable. Stakeholders are torn between hopes of a swift recovery to ambitious price levels and the reality of deepening losses. As the market fluctuates, the future of cryptocurrency prices remains an open question.</p>
