In today’s The Market Report episode, analyst and writer Marcel Pechman discusses why crypto prices are going down after (BTC) failed to break above $29,000, plus whether or not Jerome Powell is lying about keeping interest rates above 5%, and lastly, what Warren Buffett meant by the “incredible period” coming to an end. The show airs every Tuesday on the Cointelegraph Markets & Research YouTube channel.
The first news article explains why Bitcoin has been trading in a narrow range near $28,000. The culprit?

Meanwhile, the markets for risk-on assets have firmly priced in rates to decrease in the coming months.
