Bitcoin offers muted response to interest rate hike
![](https://www.cityam.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Crypto-AM-Daily-graphic.jpeg?w=742)
While Bitcoin trading volumes increased 22% in the last day, the Fed’s decision to hike interest rates again hasn’t had much impact on the price, with yesterday’s high and lows virtually the same.
The market leader was trading close to $29.5k – up by around one per cent on yesterday, while Ethereum’s Ether is in the green by 1.1%.
The large caps are trading in line with BTC. Notably, Solana (SOL) is up by 7% in the last 24 hours.

What they said yesterday
Whether you’re a Bitcoin expert or a total newbie – or even somewhere in between – you can now join the new HODLers Telegram community to learn more… or share your insights with others!
Our goal is simple: to provide a safe place where people can ask any question they want about Bitcoin, even if they think it’s a daft one! Learning Bitcoin takes time and we generally have the same questions when we first encounter it, so we know from our own experience having somewhere to ask a real person a specific question can be of great value!
There’s also access to great learning resources and, to cap it all off, we run monthly competitions to win great prizes such as tickets for events, VIP passes, exclusive access to talks and webinars or even just some Sats to add to your stack, all courtesy of our partners!
Even better, the whole thing is completely FREE!
So, if you’re a beginner, or know someone who is, take our fun five question multiple choice quiz and join the group today. Of course, if you’re an expert, you’re also welcome to join and help others who are looking to understand Bitcoin as an asset and the industry as a whole.
T’s and C’s: Open to UK residents only. All ages are welcome in the community, but you need to be over 18 to enter competitions. No purchase required.
