Cryptocurrency markets are trading higher ahead of Wednesday’s interest rate decision.

CryptocurrencyPriceGains +/-
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC)$60,346.5+3.9%
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)$2,351.85 +2.8%
Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)$132.5+1.1%
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE)$0.1013+1.7%
Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB)$0.00001335+1.7%

Notable Statistics:

  • IntoTheBlock data shows a 55% increase in Bitcoin's large transaction volume and a 6.4% spike in daily active addresses. Transactions greater than $100,000 widened from 6,005 to 7,493 in a single day.
  • Coinglass data noted 46,219 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours as total liquidations stood at $125.31 million.

Notable Developments:

Top Gainers:

Trader Notes: IntoTheBlock stated that as Bitcoin is chasing the $61,000 mark, traders should watch out for $64,000 as the key level, where 1.57 million addresses are currently holding at a loss.

The price spike led crypto trader Jelle to predict that a break above the dotted line could lead to "Q4 turbo bull thesis…a reality."

In another tweet, Jelle sees that the market is gearing up for a sell-the-news candle tomorrow. He noted that this could be the most important FOMC event in a long time.

Stockmoney Lizards predicts that a weekly close above $60,000 will lead to a bullish flip and an expected consolidation at $60,000/$61,000 before heading towards $65,000. He also marked BTC making a new short-term high.

Crypto Rover highlighted a chart to show BTC movement the last time rates were cut by 50 basis points.

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
