Bitcoin Holds Above $20,000, Here's The Top Crypto Movers For Friday

Bitcoin BTC/USD, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, breached the important $20,000 resistance level and surged past $20,600 on Friday.

However, traders remained cautious, with the US Federal Reserve expected to boost interest rates by as much as 100 basis points in a bid to curb spiking inflation, which would make riskier assets, including cryptos, less attractive as investments.

Popular altcoins, including Ethereum ETH/USD, Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Solana SOL/USD, recorded gains over the past 24 hours.

At the time of writing, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization was around $925 billion, representing a 24-hour increase of around 2.5%. BTC was trading almost flat at $20,655, while Ethereum climbed around 1% to $1,203 on Friday.
