“The crypto market displayed resilience as the DXY finally broke its parabolic rally from the local tops of 114 to 111.2. A 75 bps rate hike is widely expected from the upcoming FOMC meeting this week with a potential pivoting to 50 bps points later this December as the FED's preferred inflation metric the PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index) was slightly below the 5.2 percent annual forecast,” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets 360.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Twitter takeover has also contributed to the rise in crypto prices among other factors.
