Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Toncoin on July 27th 2023

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies saw a rise in trading on Thursday following the US Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 25 basis point increase in interest rates, in line with expectations.

The Fed also stated its readiness to raise rates further if necessary, which limited gains in digital assets.

Bitcoin experienced a slight increase, reaching just below the $29,500 mark, while Ethereum outperformed with a gain of over 1% but remained below $1,900. Altcoins also saw higher prices.

The interest rate hike, the largest since 2001, had a notable impact on the crypto market, according to Mudrex’s Co-founder and CEO, Edul Patel.

“Bitcoin, which had dipped to a low of $29,097 on Tuesday, has now shown signs of recovery and is trading above the $29,400 mark.

However, to fend off the aggressive bears, the bulls need to drive the price back up and maintain it above the $31,000 threshold. Meanwhile, Ethereum was observed being traded at the $1,870 level,” he stated.
