Investors also digested a slew of hawkish speeches, especially from Fed Evans and Bullard who believe that more rate hikes are necessary.

Similar moods prevail on the cryptocurrency market. Early in the session Bitcoin jumped well above the $20000 mark, while Ethereum tested $1400 level, however moods completely reversed in the afternoon. Now Bitcoin is trading below support at $19000 and Ether retreated to $1320.
Despite rebound attempts, prices of the main cryptocurrencies wiped out earlier gains in the second half of the day. Looking at the Bitcoin chart, a shooting star pattern may be forming on the D1 interval. If the sentiment does not change by the end of the session, it could be a trigger to attack the recent lows at $ 18,000. Source: xStation5
