Bitcoin Recovers After Plunging to $37,500
2022/05/05By:
The world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin dropped 17.3% last month — its worst April performance since 2013, according to Coinglass.
Bitcoin has rebounded after falling off a cliff in the run-up to the monthly close.
Saturday night saw the world’s biggest cryptocurrency hit lows of $37,585, data shows.
According to Coinglass, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency fell by 17.3% last month — its worst April performance since 2013.
There’s growing nervousness as the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee gathers for a key meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Economists are expected to raise the base interest rate by half a percentage point — and an increase of this size hasn’t been seen in 22 years.
Analysts are increasingly expecting another half a percentage point rise in June as the central bank battles to bring red-hot inflation under control.
Bitcoin trading volumes have dwindled in recent months as the prospect of higher interest rates tempts some savers away from cryptocurrencies.
Despite the weekend’s turbulence, BTC is pretty flat on a seven-day timeframe — down by just 0.8%.
The same can’t be said for altcoins, with many nursing double-digit losses over the past week.
Polygon, Avalanche and Polkadot all plunged over 15% — while Uniswap, The Sandbox and Decentraland fell more than 20%.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
