Sustainable Rally？

Commenting on the latest surge in crypto prices and sustainability across the digital asset ecosystem, Farah Mourad, the Senior Market Analyst at XTB MENA, said: “Cryptocurrencies traded higher after the Feds policy announcement, which fueled both indices and other high-risk assets.”

“After Bitcoin soaring above USD 23,000, and Ethereum above USD 1,600 the total market capitalization is back above US$1 trillion, 'traditionally' major altcoins like Uniswap and BCH, strongly followed.

Now with a negative GDP reading (-0.9% vs 0.5% expectations), cryptocurrencies remain extremely volatile instruments, while mixed fundamental news of its own keeping the waves high,” she added.
