Bitcoin fell by approximately 3.1% to drop below the $108,000 mark on Thursday before partially recovering its losses. The decline came after tough statements from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, which dampened expectations for another interest rate cut this year. After the Federal Reserve cut the benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.75-4% on Wednesday, marking the second consecutive cut, its chairman warned investors against expecting further reductions.
