Bitcoin price reached the $25K psychological level today. However, it failed to gain momentum and fell below $23.7K. The abrupt fall was due to hawkish comments by U.S. Federal Reserve officials.
Stronger-than-expected US economic data and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials including Loretta Mester and James Bullard suggesting another 50 bps rate hike caused the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) to jump above 104.50 on Friday, hitting its highest levels in six weeks.
