Cryptocurrency Price Today: After making positive moves during the Asian hours, the market seems to be looming in fear. As a result, the market cap of the industry has dropped from $2.08 T to $2.06 T. Meanwhile, Bitcoin price is hovering around the $59k level, after brushing the $61k mark. Top altcoins such as Ethereum, Solana, and XRP have shown negligible changes.
Bitcoin Price Today: BTC to Hit $60k Next?
The BTC price is down by 1.03% over the previous day at $59,863.97. However, the volume is still up by 37.38% compared to 39.8% earlier today. Bitcoin losing its hold at $60k has fueled speculations about its future price trend. A positive outcome from the FOMC meeting could push BTC to $66k soon. Contrarily, the $53k mark could be the outcome.
