FOMC

Solana

Wednesday

Daily

Bitcoin’s price rally that started after the US Fed reduced the interest rates on Wednesday took the asset to a multi-week peak of over $64,000 hours ago.
The altcoins also followed suit, with ETH breaking above $2,500 and BNB soaring past $570.

This highly anticipated business week actually started with a retracement on Monday that drove the primary cryptocurrency from over $60,000 to under $58,000 in hours. However, the bulls quickly resumed control of the market and pushed the asset to over $61,000 ahead of the Wednesday FOMC meeting.
Once it <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-above-62k-us-stock-market-down-and-more-feds-rate-cut-aftermath/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">concluded</a> that the US central bank announced a 0.5% cut in the key interest rates, BTC went on a rollercoaster with several movements up and down. Still, the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/3-bullish-signals-for-bitcoins-price-as-uptober-approaches/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bulls</a> came out stronger, at least for now, and initiated an impressive rally for bitcoin.
As reported yesterday, the asset <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/these-alts-gained-the-most-after-feds-rate-cut-as-btc-tapped-23-day-peak-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tapped</a> $63,000 for the first in three weeks. However, it kept adding value and briefly exceeded $64,000 earlier today for the first time since late August.
Nevertheless, its ascend has been halted for now, and BTC now sits about a grand lower. It’s still 2% up on the day, which has pushed its market cap to $1.250 trillion. Its dominance over the alts, though, has been slashed to 54.3% after soaring past 55% yesterday for the first time in almost four years.
