Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Ethereum, Bitcoin and Crypto.com – European Wrap 15 December

Ethereum (ETH) price slid lower Thursday morning after the Fed and its FOMC rate decision fell mostly in line with what markets were expecting, although most analysts retained a more hawkish undertone.

With today's four central banks producing announcements, markets will face heavy volatility before the more calm end of the year kicks in.

With the hawkish Fed rate decision and the possible disappointment of the ECB this afternoon, another round of US Dollar strength could kick in and trigger a sell-off even before Christmas.
