The BTC is inclined downwards, and it becomes more noticeable every day. On Wednesday, the leading cryptocurrency is balancing at 18,773 USD.

Triggers are all the same. First and foremost, the reason is the falling of US stock indices and the rally in the USD. The dollar enjoys crazy demand in anticipation of the upcoming September meeting of the Federal Reserve System. It is also growing because the euro is weak, fallig due to the energy crisis in Europe.

Technically, the BTC returned to the support area of 18,000-19,000 USD that is extremely important for buyers. The probability of a breakaway has increased significantly, and if it happens, the BTC will head for 12,000 USD through 15,000 USD.

Capitalisation of the crypto sector is 938 billion USD, the BTC taking up 38.3% and the ETH – 19.8%.
