What Does the Price Analysis for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum(ETH) Say?
The most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin’s (BTC) recovery was first anticipated when speculations related to the US Federal Reserve slowing down the hike rates came around the financial experts.
Experts believed with inflation quieting down, BTC might see bullish trends rushing in. However, U.S. employment data for January 2023 revealed that unemployment is the lowest since May 1969, and this once again prompted negative sentiments across the crypto industry.
Even though uncertainty is one of the underlying aspects of crypto, a quick price analysis can gauge the ongoing trends in the market. Let us see, what does the price analysis for Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) has to say about this.
