Market Analysis
Bitcoin held steady to end the week above $23k as the U.S. Federal Reserve hiked interest rates, a measure of inflation, by 0.75 basis points for the second time this year. In the derivatives market, BTC open interest increased slightly by over $167 million as compared to last week, while funding rates stayed positive. There were a total of $194 million long liquidations and $213 million short liquidations. Ether derivatives saw more activity this week.
