Analysts are thinking, that although the crypto market is 'stable' now, the risks are not over yet. The crypto market is a highly volatile asset. Hence, investors must be cautious before any investment.

The US interest rate can be hiked by the US Fed to around 75 bps, for controlling the high inflation rate. This will eventually impact the crypto market. Ryan Browne, in a report in Forbes, said, "Cryptocurrencies were touted as a source of value uncorrelated with traditional financial markets. But as institutional capital poured into digital assets, that thesis failed to materialize once the Fed began hiking interest rates and traders fled equities." The present rally of bitcoin shows a recovery of 200-week moving average, which is making investors optimistic. However, the market is waiting for the US Fed's upcoming declarations.
