Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum, showed signs of recovery after the US Federal Reserve released its consumer price index (CPI) inflation data on September 13. Despite the Fear and Greed Index still being in “fear” territory, the overall performance of cryptocurrencies tells a different story. At the time of writing, the Fear and Greed Index was at a level of 36.
The Current State of Crypto
The price of Bitcoin is showing signs of life, gaining momentum and reaching $26,240 with a 1.50% increase in the past 24 hours. However, it’s worth noting that the largest cryptocurrency by market value remains below the $30,000 resistance level. Other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), BNB, XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) are also experiencing positive momentum.
At the time of writing, the price of Ethereum was trading at around $1,621.21, up by approximately 2%. Among other cryptocurrencies, BNB saw a 1.13% increase to $212.18, while Cardano saw a 1.83% increase to $0.2486. Additionally, Solana saw a 6.18% increase to $18.91, and TomoCoin saw a 7.04% increase to $1.91. The meme cryptocurrencies also saw some gains, with Dogecoin increasing by 1.08% to $0.06136, and Shiba Inu increasing by 1.44% to $0.000007279 in the past 24 hours.
The recent performance of major cryptocurrencies indicates that crypto enthusiasts are regaining confidence and triggering positive momentum in the broader market. While the global crypto market cap increased by 1.46% to $1.04 trillion at the time of writing, the 24-hour trading volume decreased by 11.73% to $29.27 billion. However, investors are now awaiting the release of initial jobless claims and producer price index (PPI) data later today.
