Hawkish statements from the Federal Reserve put pressure on the market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum facing downside risk.
📰CRYPTO MARKET OVERVIEW (June 18, 2026)
Yesterday Kevin Warsh, the Fed Chair, appeared on camera for the first time and answered media questions. In addition to keeping the rate fixed at 3.75%, Warsh's hawkish‑toned messages that did not completely shut the door on rate hikes added pressure on the markets.
Cryptocurrencies, Brent oil, gold and many risky assets closed the day with sellers, while the VIX and the Dollar Index (DXY) moved higher.
After a sharp drop, Bitcoin rebounded to around $67,200 but has since turned downward again. I believe the main trend remains bearish unless Bitcoin can stay above $70,000 and close the week above $75,000.
🐻My expectation is that the correction zone in the bear market will form between $30,000 and $40,000.
Ethereum tested the $1,850 level and continued to pull back until the Fed meeting. I do not rule out the possibility of Ethereum falling to $500 if a new crash scenario unfolds in the crypto market.
Such a scenario could also create a serious buying opportunity. I think the downside risk for Ethereum persists unless it holds above $2,200 and closes the week above $2,400.
