<p>The crypto prices today saw robust increases as investors appear to pivot toward higher-risk assets in response to recent decisions by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The decline in the digital asset space this week was somewhat attributed to the concerns regarding U.S. inflation data, FOMC decision, and other macroeconomic events.</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, the recent <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/consumer-price-index-cpi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Consumer Price Index</a> data showed that the <a href="https://coingape.com/us-cpi-cools-to-3-1-will-btc-eth-other-crypto-prices-regain-momentum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation cooled in November</a>, fuelling the investors’ confidence. However, the investors still stayed on the sideline, as evidenced by the decline in the market on December 13, waiting for clarity from the last gathering of Fed officials this year.</p> 
<p>Notably, the Federal Reserve maintained its primary interest rate for the third consecutive occasion On Wednesday, December 14, and laid the groundwork for several anticipated cuts in 2024 and beyond. The Federal Open Market Committee, observing a moderating inflation rate and stable economic conditions, unanimously decided to retain the benchmark overnight borrowing rate within the 5.25%-5.5% range.</p> 
<p>In addition to maintaining the current stance, committee members outlined plans for at least <a href="https://coingape.com/fed-plans-for-three-rate-cuts-in-2024-altcoin-market-rally-continues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three rate cuts in 2024</a>, each anticipated to be in quarter-percentage-point increments.</p> 
<p>The decision comes as a boon for the global financial market, let alone the crypto market, as evidenced by the market rally following the updates. Meanwhile, in crypto prices, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin price</a> saw an increase of 4.58% in the past 24 hours, reaching $42,718.87.
