Crypto Prices Today: Pepe Coin Down, Bitcoin Shows Resilience After Gloomy Economic Data

A positive momentum in the cryptocurrency market on Friday, September 15, suggested that the investors regained confidence in the market, despite hotter-than-anticipated economic data. A set of data was scheduled for this week, which showed that the inflation fear still hovers over the market. But, in a different turn, the crypto market stayed in the green after the key data release.

During writing, the fear and greed index stayed at 38, suggesting a “fear” environment in the market. However, major cryptos like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Tron (TRX), among others stayed in the positive territory.

Bitcoin price noted gains of 1.33% and traded at $26,631.14 while writing, and its market cap surged at the same percentage to $518,928,247,071. Its trading volume for the last 24 hours dropped by 8.61% to $12,736,847,613.

The picture was also somewhat the same with the meme cryptos, with Dogecoin price rising 1.42% to 0.06224, while its trading volume at $175,979,612, down 9.90%. The Shiba Inu price also jumped 2.25% to 0.000007445 from yesterday, and its trading volume slumped 5.14% to $75.02 million.
