After showing strength last week and surging past the $67,000 resistance level, BTC price continued rising and reached highs of $72,000 on Oct. 25. However, the bulls faced strong resistance at this level, and BTC price dropped sharply.

Bitcoin price dropped below $70,000 after facing strong resistance at $72,000. BTC price now trades at $69,234, showing a 0.5% loss on the day and a 3.2% gain over the past week.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart shows that BTC price is now trading in the overbought territory, which might explain the selling pressure at $72,000. However, a bullish divergence is forming on the 4-hour chart, suggesting that the bulls might regain control soon.

On the other hand, XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) show the biggest losses, dropping by 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Most other altcoins are trading in the red today, with only a few coins showing moderate gains.

Total cryptocurrency market feels the heat of rising interest rates and drops below $3.1 trillion once again after showing slight weakness over the past 24 hours. The crypto market showed strength last week and reached highs of $3.12 trillion on Oct. 25. However, the bulls faced strong resistance at this level, and the crypto market cap began showing a decrease.

After reaching a local top on Oct. 25, the crypto market feels the heat of rising interest rates, and now the total crypto market cap trades at $3.08 trillion, showing a 0.1% loss on the day. Throughout the past week, the crypto market has shown strength and risen by 3.2%.

Rising interest rates have been a hot topic in the financial markets this year, and now the Federal Reserve is preparing to announce its next decision on Oct. 27. Throughout 2024, the Fed has raised interest rates five times, and now traders are pricing in a 96% chance of another rate hike.

Higher interest rates typically lead to decreased consumer spending and slower economic growth, which might explain the selling pressure in the crypto market today. However, several experts believe that cryptocurrencies might perform well in a recession.
