Stubborn inflation and unsettling macroeconomic conditions in countries like the U.S. and the UK led BTC to fall below the level of $26,000. With current interest rates at 5.5% post hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stating that the inflation fight will continue until rates fall to 2%, Bitcoin may continue to be under pressure as more details on inflation emerge. #ContentStar#
