RALLY CONTINUES AS BITCOIN REJECTED AT KEY LEVEL

集會繼續，因為比特幣在密鑰級別拒絕

The price of Bitcoin dropped on Wednesday, sliding back below the $70,000 threshold that had sparked a wave of optimism in the crypto market this week.

比特幣的價格在周三下跌，低於70,000美元的門檻，這在本週在加密貨幣市場上引發了一波樂觀。

At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $69,200, down 2% over the last 24 hours. The apex coin had risen as high as $70,800 earlier in the day, but struggled to sustain this rally.

在撰寫本文時，BTC的交易價格為69,200美元，在過去24小時內下降了2％。當天早些時候，Apex硬幣上漲了高達70,800美元，但努力維持這一集會。

This move came after a report from Glassnode showed that Bitcoin’s hashrate had reached a new all-time high of 448 PH/s. Hashrate is a measure of the computing power used to mine new coins, and higher levels usually indicate that the network is becoming more secure and that there is strong interest in mining activity.

此舉是在GlassNode的一份報告顯示，比特幣的哈希拉特（Hashrate）的歷史最高點為448 pH/s。 Hashrate是用於開採新硬幣的計算能力的量度，較高的級別通常表明網絡變得更加安全，並且對採礦活動充滿了興趣。

"Bitcoin miners are showing no signs of slowing down, with the hashrate setting a new all-time high this week," the on-chain analytics firm said in an email on Wednesday.

這家鍊子分析公司在周三的一封電子郵件中說：“比特幣礦工沒有放慢腳步的跡象，哈希特本週將有新的歷史最高點。”

"This is likely due to the recent rally in the price of Bitcoin, which has made mining more profitable."

“這很可能是由於最近在比特幣價格進行的集會，這使開採變得更加有利可圖。”

The decline in the price of Bitcoin came despite a report from Moody’s that said that it had no plans to downgrade U.S. banks due to recent stress in the banking sector.

儘管穆迪（Moody's）的報導稱，比特幣價格的下跌是出現的，該報告說，由於銀行業最近的壓力，它沒有計劃降級美國銀行。

This threat had sparked fears that legal and regulatory risks for crypto firms could increase if the credit rating agency downgraded the Union Bank, which Moody’s placed on review for downgrade last week.

這種威脅引發了人們擔心，如果信用評級機構降級聯合銀行，穆迪上週對加密公司的法律和監管風險可能會增加，而該銀行上週對此進行了審查。

But in a statement on Wednesday, Moody’s said that it was keeping a stable outlook on the U.S. banking sector, and that it had no plans to downgrade the banks.

但是在周三的一份聲明中，穆迪表示，它對美國銀行業保持著穩定的前景，並且沒有計劃降級銀行。

"We view the operating environment for U.S. banks as fundamentally sound, supported by the strong U.S. economic recovery and healthy consumer and business lending activity," Moody’s said.

穆迪說：“我們認為美國銀行的運營環境從根本上是合理的，在美國的經濟復甦以及健康的消費者和商業貸款活動的支持下。”

"While we are mindful of the recent bank failures and the implications for the industry, we view the issues that led to the failures as largely idiosyncratic."

“雖然我們注意最近的銀行失敗及其對行業的影響，但我們認為導致失敗的問題在很大程度上是特質的。”

The threat of legal and regulatory risks has weighed heavily on the crypto market in recent months, with several leading crypto firms shutting down or laying off staff as they attempt to batten down the hatches.

近幾個月來，法律和監管風險的威脅在加密貨幣市場上嚴重打擊了，幾家領先的加密公司在試圖擊倒艙口時關閉或裁員。

But the threat of a Moody’s downgrade to a U.S. bank had sparked panic among crypto traders, who fear that a move by the rating agency could herald a broader crackdown on the industry.

但是，喜怒無常降級到美國銀行的威脅引起了加密貨幣交易者的恐慌，他們擔心評級機構的舉動會預示著對該行業的更廣泛的鎮壓。

This fear was heightened by a report last week from the Federal Reserve, which showed that the U.S. economy grew faster than previously thought in the first quarter of 2023.

上週的一份報告提高了這種擔憂，美聯儲表明，美國經濟增長的速度比2023年第一季度的先前想像的速度快。

The report showed that the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) rose at an annualized rate of 1.3% in the January-March period, compared with a previous estimate of 1%. Economists polled by Reuters had expected the reading to remain unchanged.

該報告顯示，美國國內生產總值（GDP）在1月至3月期間的年增長率為1.3％，而先前的估計值為1％。路透社對經濟學家進行了調查，預計閱讀會保持不變。

The report also showed that consumer spending grew more slowly than expected in the first quarter, rising at an annualized rate of 1% after a 2.7% increase in the fourth quarter. Economists had expected consumer spending to rise at an annualized rate of 2.5%.

該報告還表明，消費者支出的增長比第一季度的預期速度慢，在第四季度增長2.7％後，每年增長1％。經濟學家預計，消費者支出的年增長率為2.5％。

The slow growth in consumer spending could lead the Fed to slow the pace of interest rate rises, which traders will be keeping a close eye on at Thursday’s meeting of the central bank.

消費者支出的緩慢增長可能會導緻美聯儲降低利率的增長速度，這將在周四的央行會議上密切關注。

The Fed is widely expected to raise interest rates by another 25 basis points at the meeting, which would take the target range for the federal funds rate to 5.0% to 5.25%.

人們普遍認為，在會議上將將利率提高25個基點，這將使聯邦資金利率的目標範圍提高到5.0％至5.25％。

Traders will also be looking out for any clues on when the Fed might finally pause the cycle of interest rate rises, which began in March 2022.

交易者還將尋找任何線索，即美聯儲最終暫停利率上升的周期，該週期始於2022年3月。

The central bank has already raised interest rates by 4.75% since the start of last year, in an attempt to cool the U.S. economy and bring inflation down towards its 2% target.

自去年年初以來，中央銀行已經將利率提高了4.75％，試圖冷靜美國經濟並將通貨膨脹降低到其2％的目標。

The consumer price index (CPI) rose by 3.2% in May from a year earlier, while the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, climbed by 4.8%.

從一年前，消費者價格指數（CPI）上升了3.2％，而排除波動性食品和能源價格的Core CPI則上漲了4.8％。

This suggests that inflation is slowing, but it remains well above the Fed’s target range.

這表明通貨膨脹率放緩，但遠遠超過了美聯儲的目標範圍。

The threat of legal and regulatory risks and the prospect of slower economic growth in the U.S. could weigh on the price of Bitcoin later in the week.

法律和監管風險的威脅以及美國經濟增長速度降低的前景可能會在本週晚些時候的比特幣價格上加重。
