It was a positive movement in the cryptocurrency industry following the significant interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Bitcoin led the gains, surpassing the crucial resistance point at $63,000 for the first time since August 27.

Altcoins Lead the Charge

Most substantial gains were observed among smaller altcoins. Reef saw an impressive surge, reaching a high of $0.0048, its highest level since March 12. This altcoin has been one of the top performers this month, increasing by over 670% from its lowest point and bringing its market cap to over $102 million.

Reef, which stands for reliable, extensible, efficient, and fast, experienced this surge a month after Binance delisted it from its exchange. This suggests a potential short squeeze, with most of its trading happening on Gate.io and WhiteBIT.

First Neiro on ETH (NEIRO) also showed remarkable performance this month, reaching a record high of $0.00098, up by over 3,865% from its lowest level in September.

Other top performers in this crypto resurgence included coins like Solar (SXP) and Billy (BILLY), both rising by over 50%.

Market Performance and Federal Reserve Rate Cut

This price action mirrored the performance of other assets. In the stock market, popular indices such as the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 rose by over 1%, continuing the ongoing bull market trend over the past few months.

The surge followed the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 0.50%, aligning with most analysts’ expectations. The Fed also indicated the possibility of further cuts if the labor market continues to weaken.
