Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price action sticking to a narrow range at the Wall Street open.


This accompanied fresh comments on economic policy from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.


Speaking during a two-day discussion with other central bank heads at the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking 2023 in Sintra, Portugal, Powell reiterated Fed consensus for further interest rate hikes this year.


Having paused the hiking cycle, which began in late 2021, this month, Powell nonetheless stressed that there was still room for further policy tightening.


“Really, policy hasn’t been restricted for very long,” he said.“We started at negative real interest rates; we’ve since moved up to where we are actually in restrictive territory, but we haven’t been there very long, so we believe there’s more restriction coming.”


Powell said that there was majority support for at least two further rate hikes going forward.


Bitcoin appeared hesitant as a result, retracing the prior day’s gains to shy away from a renewed attack on yearly highs at $31,000.

“Price bullishly explodes from the lows, takes a pause at the range high, and then continues to new yearly highs,” popular trader CryptoCon wrote in part of a tweet.
