Today, the global cryptocurrency market is rather stable, with a 0.03% growth, bringing the overall market capitalization to $2.12 trillion. The 24-hour trading volume increased by 4.72%, to $69.14 billion. Despite the overall stability, the Fear & Greed Index is at 37, indicating that investors remain fearful.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent half-point rate cut, lowering the benchmark rate to 4.75%-5.00%, has instilled hopes among investors. As inflation falls and the labor market strengthens, another 50 basis point cut is predicted before the end of the year. These changes, intended to boost economic activity, may encourage more risk-taking in the cryptocurrency market, thereby increasing investor interest in digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin stays flat, trading just below $61,000 at $60,572.50, down 0.53% in the past 24 hours. Though the price fell somewhat, 24-hour volumes rose by 7.25%, indicating increased activity. As the market digests the implications of the Federal Reserve’s decisions, Bitcoin’s next move remains unknown, with many anticipating a breakout in either direction.
