Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple Plunge amid Anticipation of Big Move

bitcoin-ethereum6

On Monday, the top cryptocurrencies went through a huge correction, starting the week with cautious momentum. Particularly, Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and Ripple ($XRP) have recorded a substantial dip over the past 24 hours.

As the new market statistics reveal, these key crypto assets are reportedly testing their crucial support levels while the wider sentiment underscores a bear market. Keeping this in view, the investors are looking for a potentially major move to occur in the near term.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Tumble More than 5% to Test Key Support Levels

Specifically, Bitcoin ($BTC) has witnessed a notable plunge beneath the 50-week simple moving average. As a result, it is now hovering around $89,783.54, showing a notable 5.48% dip over the past 24 hours. This has increased the risk of a slump below the $88,500, entering the critical support zone.

Additionally, Ethereum ($ETH) is hovering around $3,004.84. The respective price level indicates a 5.61% decrease over 24 hours. This scenario is also alarming, with growing concerns of a plunge below the psychological $3K mark.

Ripple Approaches Support Near $2 while Market Awaits Potential Turning Points

Ripple’s ($XRP) situation is also similarly cautious while it is changing hands around $2.16. This displays a 3.81% decrease in the meantime. The popular crypto asset is moving toward the psychological $2.0 mark, triggering speculation of a continuous downtrend amid the rising market uncertainty.

Overall, these leading crypto assets are preparing to test their notable price support levels. Hence, if the supports sustain and macroeconomic conditions improve, the prices could stabilize and lead toward another accumulation period.

Contrarily, a breakdown below these support zones could start steeper corrections, increasing the risk of reaching a bottom. Thus, the market onlookers are keenly watching for the potential turning points to take place in the near future.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening.

She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
