Dogecoin (DOGE), Elon Musk’s favourite memecoin, has lost its gain streak and landed among the top losers on early Thursday morning. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) managed to remain within the $20,000 and $1,500 range despite seeing minor dips. The recent 75-bps interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve has also left a negative impact on crypto prices across the board. It can be expected that the global crypto market cap might see a decline in the coming days. The Arwearve (AR) and Litecoin (LTC) tokens saw massive jumps in the last 24 hours, at over 64 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively.  


At the time of writing, the global crypto market cap stood at $1.01 trillion, registering a dip of 0.95 per cent in the last 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap data.

What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Most cryptocurrencies plunged a bit after the US Federal Reserve officials raised the benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points for the fourth consecutive time. The move has caused volatility across all markets. The price of Bitcoin has slid below the $20,500 level in the past 24 hours. If bulls can hold on to BTC, keeping it above the current level today without dropping, we might see an upward trend. BTC’s support now lies at $19,500, while the resistance holds at $21,000.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points in its continued fight against inflation. Markets reacted negatively when Fed Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at a rationale for halting hikes, saying it was ‘extremely premature’ to discuss a pause. The BTC/USD pair is currently trading bearish after breaking the strong $20,330 support level. Closing the candles below this level will almost certainly lead to a strong selling trend in BTC. Additionally, the uptrend line that supported BTC near $20,300 was broken.”


weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "The US Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 basis points for the fourth consecutive month on Wednesday. Interestingly, the global crypto market cap in comparison to its equity counterparts remained largely stable after the announcement. Thus, signalling some strengthening of the market. During Asia trading hours on Thursday morning, the global market cap remained above $1 trillion and Bitcoin was trading above $20,000 with both seeing an approximately 1 per cent decline. Meanwhile, Dogecoin, which has enjoyed great highs over the last week saw an 8 per cent decline over the past 24 hours.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “In a much-anticipated move, US Federal Reserve hiked the interest rate by 75 basis points for the fourth consecutive time due to which the majority of the crypto assets tumbled into the red. The overall crypto market cap dropped by 1 per cent but is still above the $1 trillion mark. Bitcoin dropped by over 1 per cent and is trading at the $20,321.87 mark whereas Ethereum witnessed a drop of over 2 per cent and is exchanging hands at $1,549.02. DOGE ended its mega rally today with a drop of over 6 per cent in the last 24 hours while other altcoins like DOT, MATIC, SOL, and TRX saw a marginal dip in their prices after the Fed rate hike news.”
