Crypto Market Daily Highlights – XRP Resumes Upswing to Lead the Top Ten

Key Insights:

• It is a bullish end to the week for the crypto top ten on Sunday. Ripple (XRP) leads the way with 100 minutes of the session remaining.
• There are no major crypto news stories, leaving investors to take a breather from the four-session sell-off fueled by US economic indicators and hawkish Fed bets.
• The crypto market cap is up by $4.3 billion to end the week at $905.6 billion.

It is a bullish Sunday session for the crypto top ten, with 100 minutes (UTC) of the Sunday session remaining. XRP leads the way, marking a sixth session gain from seven. Despite the bullish session, BTC has fallen short of $20,000 for the second time in six sessions.

There are no crypto news stories to provide direction, leaving investors to take a breather after a four-session pullback. However, Fed fear will continue to influence the week ahead, with US inflation a market focal point. Another spike in US inflation could cement 75-basis point Fed rate hikes in November and December.

With a 75-basis point Fed rate hike for November baked in, the markets are looking toward the December policy decision.

The FedWatch tool gives a 65.0% probability of the Federal Funds Rate ending the year at 4.5% and a 21.8% chance of ending the year at 4.75%. One week ago, the probability of the Federal Funds Rate rising to 4.75% in December was 0%.

Following the NASDAQ 100’s 3.80% tumble on Friday, the NASDAQ 100 Mini will likely influence the final hour (UTC).

Crypto Market on Target to End Four-Day Losing Streak

Despite four consecutive days in the red, the crypto market remains on target to end the week in positive territory. With 100 minutes of the session remaining, the crypto market is up $21.3 billion (+2.41%).
