The Bitcoin price dropped 1% in the last 24 hours to trade at $83,388 as of 3.30 a.m. EST on trading volume that skyrocketed 95% to $24.41 billion.<\/p>\n
The BTC price drop came around the same time a whale decided to bet $368 million with 40x leverage on a Bitcoin price decline ahead of the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, scheduled on March 19.<\/p>\n
