Although BTC remained relatively flat immediately after yesterday&#8217;s FOMC meeting, the asset spiked in the following hours and reclaimed $29,000.
The altcoins have also turned green with minor daily increases. FTM has jumped the most from the mid-cap alts.

As April was coming to its end, bitcoin initiated a leg up that drove it to $30,000. However, the bears intercepted the move and pushed the asset south hard. As such, BTC found itself slipped to $27,600 just a few days later.
Despite recovering some ground on Wednesday, the cryptocurrency was still <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/stacks-stx-soars-13-daily-bitcoin-stopped-at-29k-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal">unable to reclaim</a> $28,000 decisively. More volatility was expected later on when the US Federal Reserve was set to meet and announce perhaps another interest rate hike.
Such an increase indeed <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/fed-announces-25bps-rate-hike-to-5-bitcoin-remains-flat/" data-wpel-link="internal">transpired</a>, and the central bank&#8217;s new rates are now at 5%. Interestingly, though, bitcoin didn&#8217;t react in its usual manner and remained stuck at just over $28,000. However, the trend started to change hours later, and BTC pumped by roughly a grand.
As of now, the asset trades inches above $29,000, and its market capitalization is just north of $560 billion. Its dominance over the alts has also risen a bit to 47.1% on CMC.

The alternative coins, despite being more volatile by nature, have also remained relatively calm after the Fed&#8217;s latest interest rate hike. Ethereum is among the most substantial gainers from the top 10, having jumped by 2%. As a result, ETH now stands at $1,900.
Binance Coin, Cardano, Dogecoin, Polygon, Solana, Polkadot, Shiba Inu, and Avalanche are also slightly in the green on a daily scale.
FTM has risen by over 6% in the past 24 hours, making it the best performer from the top 50. The highly-anticipated SUI token also <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/sui-faced-massive-volatility-minutes-after-mainnet-launch/" data-wpel-link="internal">started trading</a> yesterday as the mainnet went live, and it pumped to $3.5 before it dumped to under $1.5 hours later.
Overall, the total crypto market cap has neared the $1.2 trillion mark after gaining around $15 billion daily.
