BTC and the NASDAQ Composite Index fall after Fed Chair Powell

In terms of the US business schedule, it was a calm day. Investors did not have any US economic data to consider, so Fed Chair Powell dominated the afternoon session.

Investors were taken aback by the testimony's unexpected hawkishness. Powell drove the NASDAQ Composite Index into negative territory and BTC below $22,000.

Fed Chair Powell discussed the need for higher rates on Tuesday, pointing out that economic data had been better than anticipated. As a result, the S&P 500 fell by 1.53% while the NASDAQ Composite Index dropped by 1.25%. This morning, the NASDAQ mini was down 15.75 points.

While US lawmakers' chatter and regulatory activity put pressure on BTC and the larger crypto market, Fed Chair Powell weighed on investor sentiment.

However, court rulings opposing SEC motions softened the blow for Bitcoin (BTC) and the larger crypto market. The purchase of Voyager Digital by Binance.US for $1.3 billion was authorized by US courts on Tuesday.

A hearing on crypto-asset mining and the environment held by the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Tuesday had little effect on the prices of Proof-of-Work cryptos.
