Following the FOMC meeting, investors seem to have a clearer sense of confidence in riskier and more volatile assets. As of today, a significant price surge in crypto prices did not go unnoticed by investors.
Will Bitcoin and Altcoins Continue to Rise?
The market surge primarily occurred after the latest announcement from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which marked the third consecutive time that interest rates remained unchanged. This announcement, as reflected in the market value, indicates that crypto traders and investors are experiencing increased confidence in the market.
Despite a minor increase of 0.10%, Bitcoin‘s price remained relatively neutral at $42,767.35. The rise in market confidence appears to have prevented a decrease in Bitcoin’s price, and investors continue to maintain a bullish outlook for Bitcoin in the near future.
Moreover, the leading altcoin, Ethereum, experienced a 1.2% increase in price within 24 hours and is currently trading at $2,276, indicating an uptrend. This situation is accompanied by a 14.51% increase in the token’s market value, which now stands at $12.91 billion. Another notable altcoin, XRP, also saw a 1.64% rise, reaching $0.6343.
Another significant altcoin, Solana (SOL), pleased its investors with a 6.78% increase in the last 24 hours. Solana is currently trading at the $74 level, with a 20.24% increase in volume. Following the surge, its volume reached $2.57 billion.
