Why It Matters: Ahead of an expected 50 basis point rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve, risk assets came under pressure from nervous investors worried about a looming recession.
Bitcoin and Ethereum were seen trading lower while U.S. stock futures traded largely flat at the time of writing.
Investors will keep a lookout for the weekly jobless claim numbers on Thursday and a slew of corporate earnings data on the same day.
“Bitcoin is down as risk appetite fades away on recession worries. Bitcoin has massive resistance at the $17,500 level and that should hold leading up to next week’s FOMC decision,” said Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at OANDA.
“Crypto could trade in ranges which might support intra-day volumes only. Long-term crypto bets that are waiting to be placed will require either a bullish fundamental trigger or a capitulation moment that has Bitcoin testing a key technical level."
Michaël van de Poppe noted the “mega moves” by the apex coin. The trader said he can’t wait for the “breakout to $16,950” level.
Mega moves of #Bitcoin, can’t wait for the breakout to $16,950.

Bitcoin’s unspent transaction output (UTXO) volume estimated to have been purchased 1 week to 1 month rose sharply for the first time in the current bear market, said Dan Lim, an analyst with CryptoQuant.
Lim cited three instances in the past — the 2015 bear market, the 2018 bear market and the current bear market — when this movement took place at the bottom.
“It took 1358 days in 2018, and 1444 days in 2022 to make this movement,” noted the analyst.
