Should l Buy BTC?

Market Reaction: Following the Fed's hawkish tone, Bitcoin's price fell approximately 5% from near $74,000 to test the $70,000 support level, reflecting cautious sentiment among investors.
ETF Outflows: After experiencing over $1.1 billion in inflows over seven days, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $129 million net outflow on Wednesday, which dampened market sentiment and intensified risk-off behavior.
Easing Miner Selling Pressure: Net miner outflows have decreased by 82% from their February peak, indicating an improvement in supply-side conditions that may alleviate selling pressure in the market.
Market Holding Pattern: Bitcoin is currently trading above the critical support level of $66,827, where over $1.87 billion in leveraged longs are exposed, yet the lack of new long entries suggests a range-bound market rather than a trending one.

About BTC

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency originally described in a 2008 whitepaper by a person, or group of people, using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It was launched soon after, in January 2009.Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer online currency, meaning that all transactions happen directly between equal, independent network participants, without the need for any intermediary to permit or facilitate them. Bitcoin was created, according to Nakamoto’s own words, to allow “online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.”Some concepts for a similar type of a decentralized electronic currency precede BTC, but Bitcoin holds the distinction of being the first-ever cryptocurrency to come into actual use.
