As Bitcoin’s (BTC) price crossed the crucial milestone of around $62k for the first time in September, following the high-impact news from the Federal Reserve, the attention on the altcoin market significantly increased in the past 24 hours. From the past crypto bull cycles, it is evident that the onset of the Fed’s quantitative easing measures triggers a fresh macro uptrend period.
