Cryptocurrency Update

The crypto market has been mostly showing a bearish trend in the past 5 days. Multiple issues are influencing the assets at present, apart from the latest 75bps interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. According to a CoinDesk report, "The largest cryptocurrency by market cap seemed mostly unfazed by crypto's latest hack that left over 8,000 wallets, including several Solana (SOL) addresses, compromised on Tuesday. But Solana's SOL token fell over 4.2% during the past 24 hours and is down 76% year-to-date. For the past two weeks, bitcoin seems to have entered a new range, now hovering between $21,200 and $24,400, a step up from the $17,000 to $21,000 range in the weeks before."
