Macro Support In Favor Of Bitcoin Rise?

A further decline in DXY could potentially lead to another push to the Bitcoin price. The current range is not too far from the lows registered in May 2022. If DXY fall further below that level, next support is in the range of 92.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) price is showing encouraging signs in continuation to its January rally. As of writing, BTC price stands at $23,847, up 3.21% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGape price tracker. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 Index too rallied in response to the Fed announcement.
