Bitcoin (BTC) is fluctuating around $116,300-116,700, increasing by about ~1% in 24h. The market is in a consolidation phase, awaiting the interest rate decision from the Fed expected tomorrow.
Ethereum (ETH) holds around ~$4,500, down slightly ~0.4-0.5% compared to yesterday. The ETF inflows are still coming in, but the pressure from the resistance area of ~$4,600 is quite apparent.
Altcoins & SOL: The altcoin market shows clear differentiation: some Layer-2, DeFi & meme tokens are surging; SOL has increased slightly but has not yet surpassed strong resistance.
Neutral market sentiment – the Fear & Greed index around 51 indicates neither excessive concern nor excessive excitement. The market is testing the support area for BTC around ~$113-115K.
Prediction & Expectation: • If the Fed cuts interest rates by 25 bps - the market may bounce back, Bitcoin targeting the $120K zone if it maintains support. • If ETH surpasses $4,600, it may challenge the previous peaks. • SOL and smaller altcoins need good volume & supportive news to break out.
