Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, tumbled to almost $38,000 on the Fed's announcements and Russia's Central Bank warnings. However, sellers' dominance might be on borrowed time.

Historically, when RSI is below 40, Bitcoin (BTC) becomes heavily oversold: bears have no more energy to suppress the price.
RSI was invented by stocks and commodities analyst J. Welles Wilder in 1978.
As covered by U.Today previously, RSI for major cryptos sits in "oversold" waters since early January.
On Jan. 7, 2022, it reached a two-year low for Ethereum (ETH), a second cryptocurrency. That is why some analysts are certain that BTC and major altcoins are nearing the bottom of the ongoing mini-bear market.
Third most painful day for crypto bulls in 2022
Bitcoin (BTC) is down more than 10% in the last 24 hours: its price briefly touched $38,100 on major spot exchange amid massive sell-offs.
As U.Today reported earlier today, market panic should be attributed to the U.S. Federal Reserve's shift toward monetary tightening.
According to Coinglass (formerly Bybt), more than $726 million in crypto positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours; bulls are responsible for more than 81% of this huge volume.
