Sideways movement in crypto markets continues as investors sweat over today’s interest rate announcement

Crypto AM Daily - a roundup of today's market news

Most of the large-cap cryptocurrencies continue to trade sideways this morning, as Bitcoin remains virtually unchanged around $20,415 and Ethereum at $1,550. 

Solana and Cardano have taken a slight knock in the last 24 hours, with Solana down 3.12% at $31.83, and Cardano trading for $0.3994, down by 2.9% over the course of a day. 

The lacklustre market action is likely due to investors waiting for the Fed’s rate hike announcement set for later today, which will no doubt move the needle one way or the other. The big question is whether Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market will follow traditional markets in what experts expect to be a big day of trading.

Bitcoin volume

The total spot trading volume reported by all exchanges over the last 24 hours was $38,436 billion. High volumes can indicate that a significant price movement has stronger support and is more likely to be sustained.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The daily RSI is currently 57.38. Values of 70 or above indicate that an asset is becoming overbought and may be primed for a trend reversal or experience a correction in price – an RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition.

Important point…

There is not a single person on this planet that can tell you how many dollars will be printed in 2030.

I can tell you with astonishing accuracy how many #Bitcoin will be created in 2030.

— Jason Maier (@cjasonmaier) November 1, 2022

Embrace change…

Monopolies are disrupted when they fail to understand how a new technology offers superior value to people, and instead of embracing that value creation …they fight it.

What form of monopoly makes little difference! #Bitcoin
