Bitcoin’s price dipped below $62,800 yesterday in a de-risking move from investors ahead of the FOMC meeting, but it has rebounded swiftly to over $64,000 now.
Most larger-cap alts have turned green as well, with XRP aiming at $1.10 once again. UNI is up by over 5%, while ADA has gained more than 4%.
BTC Jumps Ahead of FOMC
BTC was rejected at $67,000 last week, and the subsequent leg down pushed it south to under $63,600 on Friday. The bulls finally stepped up after this rather substantial decline given the current dull market phase, and bitcoin remained at around $64,000 during most of the weekend.
It even climbed slightly on Sunday following some de-escalation news on the US/Iran front. More profound increases came on Monday morning when the asset priced in the lack of new attacks between the US and Iran and jumped to $65,600 on a couple of occasions.
However, it failed there quickly and tumbled hard on Tuesday. Just a day before the most unpredictable FOMC meeting in years, the cryptocurrency dumped below $62,800, losing $3,000 in less than a day.
Nevertheless, it has bounced off rather nicely over the past several hours, currently trading well above $64,000. Its market capitalization has risen to $1.290 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has jumped to 57%.
BEAT Rockets, PI Rebounds
Most larger-cap alts have posted some gains over the past 24 hours, led by XRP and ADA. The former is up by 3% to $1.09, while the latter has jumped by 4.4% and now sits at $0.165. ETH has reclaimed the $1,900 level, while XMR is up to $350. UNI has added over 5% of value, followed by SKY, ONDO, and TAO.
In contrast, NEAR has dumped by another 5%, followed by LTC and ZEC. BEAT is by far the biggest gainer over the past 24 hours, surging by 35% to $3.75. Pi Network’s native token follows suit. A 5.5% surge from PI has pushed it close to $0.08 after it dumped to $0.074 yesterday.
The total crypto market cap has recovered $40 billion since yesterday’s low and is up to $2.270 trillion on CG.
