Another important, volatile, and eventful week passed by. It had traders and investors looking out for the latest Federal Reserve meeting, which took place a few days ago.<\/p>\n

But before it, bitcoin\u2019s price had recovered from last week\u2019s plunge below $115,000 on Friday and had returned to its familiar trading range between $117,000 and $119,000. The asset traded between those two lines for days ahead of the Wednesday FOMC meeting, with little to no volatility and success when it comes to breaching either side.<\/p>\n

Hours before the central bank announced its policy decision, the US GDP report<\/a> for Q2 went out, which was better than expected, showing a significant economic increase of 3%. US President Trump immediately used this opportunity to urge Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut the rates, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

To the surprise of almost no one, the US central bank left the rates unchanged<\/a> for the fifth consecutive time. BTC\u2019s price reaction was immediate as the asset slipped from nearly $119,000 to under $116,000. However, it managed to recover the losses by Thursday when it neared the upper boundary of this channel once again.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the bears were persistent, and, after getting some assistance from Trump\u2019s latest set of tariffs against numerous countries, rejected bitcoin at that level. Within hours, the cryptocurrency\u2019s price tumbled<\/a> to a three-week low of $114,000, charted earlier today.<\/p>\n

Still, BTC managed to mark its highest monthly closure at roughly $115,000 yesterday evening, even though it\u2019s 2.5% down on the week. The altcoins, though, have charted even more notable price declines compared to last Friday\u2019s valuations. ETH and XRP have slumped by 5% each, while SOL, DOGE, ADA, HYPE, XLM, SUI, LINK, HBAR, and many others have seen losses of up to 10%.<\/p>\n
