    Bitcoin briefly rose above $23,000, following stocks higher after the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates. Still, analysts don’t see this crypto rally as having solid legs and predicting prices will likely stagnate at current levels.

    Bitcoin has surpassed the $23170 mark, adding more than 9% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum jumped 13% to $1640. Other leading altcoins in the top 10 have gained between 6% (BNB) and 15% (Polkadot).

    The largest crypto surged in the wake of the Fed’s Wednesday afternoon announcement on monetary policy, which delivered Bitcoin its best day in almost a month. Bitcoin has steadily advanced from a bottom below $18,000 in June, topping out around $24,000 last week before sliding back as markets headed into this turbulent week.

    Fed’s Recent Rate Hike

    On Wednesday, the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate by 0.75 percentage points to fight rampant inflation without tipping the economy into recession. But the central bank’s chair Jerome Powell suggested that the pace of rate rises could slow, which sparked an equity rally on Wednesday which has fed through to European and Asian trading on Thursday.

    Bitcoin has risen 9% in the last 24h, and the rest of the Market accompanied its rise.

    “The conclusion of Wednesday’s Fed meeting opens up a summer window for a Bitcoin relief rally, given we now have two months until policymakers next deliberate on monetary policy,” Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of cryptocurrency wallet Nexo, said in a research note.

    Bitcoin is attempting to stage a sustained rally after several failed attempts this month. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has been trading between $20,000 to just over $24,000 since mid-June after a brutal crash wiped off 50% of its value this year.

    “The next 24 hours will be a true test of Bitcoin’s re-discovered resilience after it shrugged its shoulders at this month’s stellar U.S. inflation data and didn’t wince when Tesla announced it has sold most of its BTC (bitcoin) holdings,” Trenchev said.

    The Market follows BTC trend

    Beyond Bitcoin, Ether —the second-largest token—rose 12% to $1,650. Altcoins, or smaller cryptos, were similarly soaring, with Solana up 9% and Cardano climbing 7%. Memecoins—initially intended as internet jokes—also gained, with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, 7%, and 6% higher, respectively.

    Apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, DeFitokens, including Lido (37%), Synthetix (24%), and Uniswap (23%), have also posted significant gains.

    Ethereum Classic (28%), Bitcoin Cash (23%), and several other proof-of-work (PoW) blockchains also showed positive price movement. Overall trading volumes of cryptocurrencies also jumped 30% from $72.78 billion yesterday to $93.12 billion today, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

    Not just cryptocurrencies, stock markets responded positively following the latest rate hike. Yesterday, at the end of trading hours, U.S. stock indices, including Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), closed 1.37% higher, and Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) gained 4.06%.
