BTC Price Rises Above $105K After Fed Decision, LINK Up 7% Daily (Market Watch)
Jan 30, 2025 2:20 AM

Bitcoins price experienced some expected volatility after yesterdays FOMC meeting but has headed north and now sits above $105,000.

Most altcoins are in a similar position, with ETH increasing past $3,200 and SOL rising to $240.

BTC Above $105K

The primary cryptocurrency had a quiet weekend in which its price stood mostly in a tight range between $104,000 and $105,000. The landscape changed on Monday, similar to the previous one when the bears took charge of the market and initiated a substantial leg down.

Within hours during the morning Asian trading session, BTC plunged by several grand to a multi-week low of under $98,000. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency didnt stay there for long and went back into six-digit territory by the end of the day.

The next couple of days were a lot less eventful, aside from another brief decline toward $100,000. The market anticipated the Feds decision on Wednesday evening, and bitcoin stood still. Once the expected decision of no interest rate cuts was announced, BTC headed south by over a grand from $103,000 to $101,500.
