Crypto market changes directions as intraday volatility of Bitcoin rises

Though Bitcoin did not go below $29000, it has experienced frantic swings in the last 24 hours, leading to crypto market changes in movements.

Bitcoin extended its display of volatility as it rose over 3% to inch closer to the $30000 mark. 

However, it couldn’t cross over as it settled back to hovering above $29000. With increasing swings, the crypto market changes have become more evident in the movements of several altcoins.

Traders and investors were left wondering about the source of the sell-offs, which constantly stopped Bitcoin from tackling its resistance. A slew of theories and opinions were floating around in social media regarding the same. Some analysts have claimed the frequent crypto market changes to be signs of traders taking a cautious outlook ahead of the FOMC meeting.

Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and Polygon were major gainers in the last 24 hours, while ETH also remained stable above $1900. Ethereum currently has a market cap of over $230 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of about $11 billion. 

As per the current situation, the position for Bitcoin seems tricky. If it manages to cross its $30000 resistance soon, another wave of a rally could take place. If BTC goes through losses and dips below $29000, investors could start selling their crypto.
