Is the Trump Rally Over in Bitcoin? Will the Decline Continue? Analysts Answered!

As is known, although the FED cut the interest rate by 25 basis points last week in line with expectations, FED Chairman Jerome Powell made hawkish statements. Following these statements, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a sharp decline to $92,000 levels, recording its first weekly loss since Donald Trump's US election victory.
