A Look At Bitcoin, Ethereum And Dogecoin Heading Into Thanksgiving, Black Friday, The Weekend – Bitcoin (BTC/USD), Ethereum (ETH/USD), Dogecoin (DOGE/USD)

Bitcoin BTC/USD was muted following the release of the Federal Reserve’s monthly minutes, in tandem with the general markets, which didn’t budge much in either direction at 2 p.m.

Ethereum ETH/USD and Dogecoin DOGE/USD followed suit, holding gains from earlier in the day but not showing a big reaction to the news.

While the Fed said it would continue to do what was required to bring decade-high inflation down to 2%, many committee members have softened their stance slightly, believing the central bank can begin to slow the pace of rate hikes.

The crypto sector will be free from the pressures of the general market for much of the next four days, with the Thanksgiving holiday closing the stock market on Thursday and Black Friday closing the market for half the day on Friday, which is followed by the weekend.

Traders and investors will be watching Bitcoin and Ethereum over the next four days for clues about how the stock market may behave next week.
