Before the FOMC meeting, rumors of a hike in rate led to the crypto market bouncing, with BTC rising to $22,000.
On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised its interest by 0.75% marking the highest rate increase since the 1980s. The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated, “unusually large increase could be ideal in future meetings and a period of economic slowdown will be vital to bring back price stability.”
Major cryptocurrencies in the market after the news have seen a good response, with BTC trading above $23,100 and approaching a crucial 1D 50 EMA resistance. Leading to many discussions in the market applauding the rally as it could signal more upsides and relieve bounces for altcoins.
