Cryptocurrenices making deeper pullback after FOMC minutes

Aug 17, 2023

The USD edged slightly higher, and stocks hit new lows for the week yesterday after the release of FOMC minutes. These minutes revealed that officials expressed concerns about the pace of inflation and noted the possibility of additional rate hikes unless future data suggests otherwise. So cryptos are down as USD seem much more attractive with higher yields/lower treasuries. Crypto total market cap is coming lower, but can be in C wave of a higher degree pullback, but it has room for slightly more weakness till support is reached. Ideally near 1.05/1.06T. So from an Elliott wave perspective, the whole pattern still looks good for bulls, but more time and patience is needed here, during summer pullbacks.
