The US Fed minutes of meeting for July dampened the traders sentiments across the globe, which hinted for more rate hikes by the US central lender if need be.
Bitcoin continued to weaken further as the largest crypto token dropped as much as 2 per cent to slip below 29,000-mark once again. Its largest peer, Ethereum, was also trading 2 per cent down, slipping below $1,800-levels after the latest weakness. Price action in the major altcoins was on the lower side. Bitcoin is trading above the $28,500 mark. This might be because of the diminishing worth of the Russian Rouble and Argentina's Peso in relation to the US Dollar.
