Ahead of another interest rate hike expected in the US, most cryptocurrencies reflected losses on Tuesday, July 23.

Ether tagged along with Bitcoin on the red side of the crypto price charts. The altcoin registered a loss of 2.30 percent to currently trade at $1,850 (roughly Rs. 1.5 lakh). Ether's price point remains almost unchanged in the last 24 hours.
"FOMC is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points this week with an expectation that this may be the last rate hike by the Federal Reserve in the foreseeable future. In addition to the Federal Reserve's interest rate resolution, the US will release its initial jobless claims for the week ending July 22nd. This economic indicator offers crucial insights into the country's labour market health and economic recovery progress," the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets 360.
