Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC slides below $88,000 as Fed holds rates, geopolitical risks cap recovery

Bitcoin (BTC) price slips below $88,000 at the time of writing on Thursday, after being rejected at a key level the previous day. The price correction followed the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) decision to keep interest rates steady on Wednesday, and the Fed Chair Jerome Powell's cautious tone capped BTC’s upside. In addition, rising geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran and lingering concerns over the Fed’s independence continue to dampen risk appetite, limiting Crypto King’s recovery.
