Bitcoin Drops in Asia Amid Fed Rate Hike Fears
Bitcoin and Ether prices dropped in Asia trading on Tuesday.
Investors are worried about the US Federal Reserve possibly raising interest rates, which could make borrowing more expensive and reduce investment in risky assets like cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin has been recovering slightly over the past month, but recent outflows from Bitcoin ETFs show that the market is still fragile.
Analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin will continue to fall or start to recover.
Bitcoin fell 2.3% to $63,414, its lowest in 11 days.
Ether dropped 3.6% in early Asia trading.
Fed rate hike concerns are driving investors away from risk assets.
Bitcoin ETFs saw $465 million in outflows over two days.
Analysts suggest watching support levels at $62,000 and $60,000.
