Bitcoin Slammed as Investors Prepare for the Fed Rate Hike

Short
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Bitcoin got slammed as investors brace for another rate hike this week. All risk-on assets are selling off with Dow futures falling 200 points, and the S&P 500 testing relative lows. Bitcoin gave up the $20K's, finding support at $19.5K for a bit. Last night support gave and we tumbled further to support at $18.6K. We are currently seeing support here confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI, but it's also looking quite weak. Additionally, there is a lack of a pivot, suggesing that investors are still not enticed to buy back at these levels. If the selloff continues, then $17.6K is the next target. If we are able to pivot we will likely see strong resistance at $19.5K or $20K.
