Bitcoin Drops Below $100K amid Powell's Comments

The BTCUSD daily chart reveals a strong bearish momentum starting from Wednesday, as the price has been trending downward. It has formed three consecutive bearish candles, with the most notable development being its drop below the $100K.

Bitcoin's price has been under pressure following Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's recent comments. At a Wednesday press conference, he addressed the regulatory stance on cryptocurrencies, stating:

“We’re not allowed to own bitcoin. The Federal Reserve Act says what we can own, and we’re not looking for a law change. That’s the kind of thing for Congress to consider, but we are not looking for a law change at the Fed.”
