The market was at the edge of its seat on Wednesday to see whether the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would cut interest rates during the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

Bitcoin (BTC) price is trading with a bearish bias, recording a steady streak of lower highs as part of a vertical chop. The dump comes ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision with markets recording surging volatility.

US Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry slammed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler for his stand on Ethereum (ETH). McHenry issued a statement on Tuesday saying there is evidence that shows Gensler “knowingly misled” the Congress on Ethereum’s status.
