Solana’s price rose 5.5% in the last 24 hours to around $93.5. However, retail sentiment around the token remained in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day, as did retail sentiment around Ripple, while XRP’s price rose 4.1% in the last 24 hours.

Markets Await Federal Reserve Policy Update

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is slated to announce its decision on whether or not interest rates will be cut this month on Wednesday. It is only one of seven central banks that will announce monetary policy updates this week. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the market is not anticipating a rate cut, with a 99.1% probability that the interest rate will remain between 3.50% and 3.75%.

“Markets are breaking upwards,” crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe said in a post on X. According to him, there’s more upside to come from Ethereum, which should result in a rally towards $80,000 for Bitcoin. However, according to analyst Ted Pillows, Bitcoin is poised to face heavy resistance between $75,000 and $76,000. He expects Bitcoin to “fake out” above $76,000 before dropping back below $60,000.
