Data showed US consumer prices were unchanged in October, and the annual rise in underlying inflation was the smallest in two years. In the 12 months through October, the CPI climbed 3.2% — below economists' estimates — after rising 3.7% in September. Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market cap fell by 2.3% to around $1.37 trillion in the last 24 hours. At 11:57 a.m., Bitcoin was trading 3.1% lower at $35,562, while the second most popular token, Ethereum, was down 3.9% at $1,980.

XRP, BNB, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Polkadot were trading in the red. Bitcoin was up 1.12% at $35,308 as of 12:05 p.m., while Ethereum was below the $1,900 level. Other popular altcoins, including Solana and Toncoin, rose up to 9%. While BNB fell 2.4% and Polkadot dropped 8%. «Bitcoin is currently trading near the $35,300 mark, while altcoins like Solana and Toncoin have surged by more than 6% and 11%, respectively. This recent price action has pushed the total cryptocurrency market's value to a 16-month high of 1.34 trillion dollars. To maintain its momentum, Bitcoin will need to breach the $35,700 threshold; otherwise, it may find support around the $34,200 mark,» said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.

Bitcoin was up 2.46% at $30,721 as of 12:39 p.m., while its largest peer, Ethereum, rose 2.4% to above the $ 1,650 level. Majority of the altcoins were trading higher. BTC has been holding firm above the $30k mark as several altcoins have started to catch up with this Q4 rally as well. Even as we have seen Bitcoin go up daily for 4 days in a row now, the $28k-31k range has acted as a major liquidity zone and BTC must cross the $31.5k-33k zone before one can say with certainty that this resistance zone has been broken, said Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager at CoinSwitch Markets Desk. Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, said, «Over the weekend, Bitcoin breached the $30,000 threshold amid renewed optimism regarding the potential approval of a Bitcoin Spot ETF as several applicants made amendments to their applications with the SEC last week.»

cryptocurrency market cap declined 2% to around $1.09 trillion in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin was down 1.8% at $27,617 as of 12:38 p.m., while Ethereum was below the $1,700 level. «Bitcoin’s price rose above $28,000, the highest level in the last 30 days, before consolidating around $27,500. This price movement could be because of the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield soaring another 11 basis points to 4.69%, slightly affecting the gains caused by positive indicators like the Ether futures ETFs approvals by the U.S. SEC,» said Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder of Mudrex. Meanwhile, Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager at CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, «Bitcoin momentarily broke above the extremely important resistance of $28.5k, which is the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (50EMA) as well, before bears took the grip and BTC fell back to around $27.5k. This volatility means that the market saw its highest volumes in more than a month. More volumes will attract more traders to the market.»

cryptocurrency market cap was trading at around $1.05 trillion, rising 0.76% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin was up 0.56% at $26,291 as of 11:58 a.m., while Ethereum rose 0.78% to $1,590. The crypto market has traded sideways with slight buying pressure. Continuing its oscillation between the neutral and fear zones, the crypto fear and greed index is back in the fear zone with a score of 46/100 after shedding off a point since yesterday. Markets at large, including crypto and even global equities, are currently dealing with the rate hike concerns and rising treasury yields, said Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk. Barring Solana, Toncoin, and Shiba Inu, all major crypto tokens were trading higher on Tuesday. BNB, XRP and Polygon gained up to 2%.

Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher, around $1.07 trillion, rising 0.76% in the last 24 hours.

In fact, the last 8 days have been pretty positive for the crypto market with BTC rising around 10% from the local top to bottom, said Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk. Meanwhile, Edul Patel, CEO & Co-founder of Mudrex, said, «Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin rose above the US$27,000 mark, marking its highest point since August 31st. This surge is in anticipation of the U.S Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, where the market expects the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to momentarily halt interest rate hikes.»

BNB, USD Coin, XRP Dogecoin, Cardano and Solana fell up to 2%. ETH was trading at $1,580.67 while Dogecoin was at $0.06124. «In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin briefly lost its crucial support at $25,000 for the first time in almost three months. For BTC to not enter panic mode, $24,500 support remains sacrosanct. This is the level above which BTC has been trading for almost 6 months now. As for ETH, which fell 2.8%, the support of $1,600 has been breached and it is currently trading around $1,550,» Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk said. In Hudda's opinion, a major catalyst for SOL’s ($17.95) sell-off is still Wednesday's expectation of FTX unlock, pointing out that this cryptocurrency was already down by around 50% from its recent high in July. «Additionally, given that a majority of the SOL is time-locked for FTX, we could very well see a 'sell the rumor, buy the news’ event playing out on Tuesday,» he added.

BNB, Cardano and Tron were trading with gains, while XRP, Dogecoin, Solana and Shiba Inu were trading with cuts. Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher, around $1.04 trillion, rising 0.22% in the last 24 hours. «BTC’s price remained within a narrow range for another day, although for a very brief duration, BTC did trade below $25.5k and above $26k. The small dump and pump happened around the same time as the news broke out that a major tech investor Cathie Wood's ARK Invest applied for a spot Ethereum ETF in the US,» Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager at CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said. The total volume in DeFi is currently $2.07 billion, 7.87% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. The volume of all stablecoins is now $25.1 billion, which is 95.46% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.

Investor sentiment, however, continued to climb and jumped 3 points since yesterday; currently in the neutral zone with a score of 52/100, said Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk. «BTC seems to have lost the momentum it had gained after Grayscale’s historic win against the SEC. However, analysts predict a 75% chance that Bitcoin ETFs will get approval this year. The SEC is also expected to rule on the ETF applications submitted by other players like BlackRock, Fidelity, Invesco, and WisdomTree, this week,» Shubham said.

BTC volume stood at approximately $18.1 billion, rising 34.35% in the last 24 hours. «Bitcoin’s price breached the $30000 mark in the early hours of today but consolidated to trading above the $29500 level. This movement could be because of the fall in Chinese trade numbers for July and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield descending lower by 11 basis points to 3.98%,» Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO at Mudrex, said. Other top crypto tokens, BNB, XRP, Dogecoin, Solana, Polygon, and Polkadot were also trading higher on Wednesday.

BTC volume stood at approximately $11.75 billion, falling 20% in the last 24 hours. «Bitcoin rose above $31,000, underpinned by a bullish forecast from U.K. bank Standard Chartered predicting that bitcoin will reach $50,000 by the end of 2023 and $120,000 by the end of 2024. However, it retraced back to $30,350 as the US June Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI) will be released this week, bringing inflation data back into the spotlight,» said CoinDCX Research Team. Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager at CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, «The CPI (YoY) consensus forecast this time is 3.1% — down from the previous reading of 4%. A lower-than-expected reading can give the entire market an upward push, however, it seems like the market may not be as concerned in case the reading comes out to be more than 3.1%.»

The crypto fear and greed index has also regained its position in the neutral zone by climbing 9 points since yesterday.
