Gold declined over week to fall below $2,000 as the stock markets gained back momentum. The overall crypto markets gained over 10% over the week and edged above the $1.8 trillion level.

Over the longer period, Bitcoin has been consolidating around the $39K to $42K levels. The crypto markets were expected to be volatile before the Federal Reserve’s meeting. However, the markets remained unfazed by the Fed’s interest hike of 25 BPS. Interestingly, the long-term Bitcoin holders have also remained fairly unnerved by the recent market volatility as the balance of BTC being held by HODLers made a new high. This inturn could trigger the next bull run as there would be a supply crunch soon.
