Bitcoin Price Prediction as US Federal Reserve Keeps Interest Rate Unchanged – Will BTC Blast to $30,000?
Today's Bitcoin price stands at $27,033, having experienced a trading volume of $13 billion over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin has witnessed a slight dip, declining around 0.50% during this timeframe.

The Fed has not only signalled the potential for another 25 basis point hike this year but has also painted a picture of diminishing prospects for rate cuts in the long run.
