Expectations of a Slower rate hike by Federal Reserve boost investors’ sentiments?

Meanwhile, crypto investors hope for a solid finish to a topsy-turvy year after the FTX collapse and other unfavorable events. The bullish behavior of the crypto market on the first day of the week is also driven by a lift in investors’ sentiments who are hoping for a more dovish US Federal Reserve.
There are indications that after the Fed’s tightened monetary policy, there will be a relief in the interest rate spree in the upcoming months. The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed last week that smaller interest rate increases are possible ahead and could begin in December. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is expected to raise interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) instead of continuing its current rate of 75 bps.

CEO Larry Fink stating that most digital-asset firms would not survive. Tron (TRX) was one of the biggest losers today, down 0.20% at $0.05356. The cryptocurrencies that were seen trading in red during today’s intraday trading session included; Monero (XMR), Gemini Dollar, and Binance USD (BUSD).
