Bitcoin drops ahead of Fed rate decision

Bitcoin prices have declined to their lowest level in ten days, nearing $63,000, amid a broad sell-off in stocks of AI-related technology companies as investors await the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate hikes. The digital currency dropped by 3%, coinciding with a sharp decline in Asian tech stocks, especially Samsung and SK Hynix, due to concerns over continued hefty spending on AI infrastructure and increasing Chinese competition in the memory chip market. The market is currently pricing in a 38% chance of rate increases this week, which could reduce the attractiveness of non-yielding assets like cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin continues to struggle in maintaining a recovery as capital flows out of related investment funds. Additionally, geopolitical sentiment remains positive following improved relations between the United States and Iran. Investors are also awaiting upcoming earnings reports from tech companies this week to gauge the sustainability of AI-related spending that impacts the cryptocurrency market.
