Bitcoin failed to hold any significant gains above the $ 50,000 mark ahead of the Fed’s meeting scheduled for Wednesday. Bitcoin price fell sharply earlier this month, on December 4th. It had later risen higher to reclaim $ 50,000 on December 12, but it fell back near $ 47,000 this week. The declining momentum in the cryptocurrency market took hold as investors were concerned about the Fed’s decision to change rates at the December 15 meeting.
However, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization rose 2.03 percent in the past 24 hours to $ 47,962.38 on December 15 at 8:00 p.m., according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin price has dropped over 5 percent in the past week. It must be noted that Bitcoin retreated more than 30 percent from an all-time high of nearly $ 69,000 on November 10th.
