The past seven days saw the total cryptocurrency market capitalization increase by around $35 billion, and the industry continues to recover from the multitude of bankruptcies in 2022. Some argue that the pace of the recovery is slowing down and that this might be the cause for another bearish reversal. Others are making a bullish case because they expect the US Federal Reserve to pivot in its monetary policy and to slow down in increasing interest rates. This is supported by this week's FOMC meeting when the Fed hiked the rates with 25 basis points – exactly as many expected. This had a positive impact on the markets as a whole. Bitcoin soared to a high above $24,000 for the first time since August 2022, while the rest of the market also rallied. There's been a correction since, and at the time of this writing, BTC trades at around $23,500, charting an increase of 2.7% for the week. |
