Financial analyst John Squire, the partner at Ojamu, an AI & Blockchain-powered platform, revealed exclusively to Watcher Guru that Bitcoin might plummet further after the upcoming FOMC meeting. “Bitcoin is going down in the next few months and the crypto could drop below $27,000 by the end of this month,” he said.
Shiba Inu moves in tandem with Bitcoin’s performance and if BTC heads south, SHIB sheds most of its gains. The market is taking its own time to recover and a quick bounce will not be on the cards. Therefore, it is advised to remain cautious in the next few weeks before going all-in.
