Author: Lisa Levin | July 15, 2022 03:53am

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency, breached the important $20,000 resistance level and surged past $20,600 on Friday.

However, traders remained cautious, with the US Federal Reserve expected to boost interest rates by as much as 100 basis points in a bid to curb spiking inflation, which would make riskier assets, including cryptos, less attractive as investments.

Popular altcoins, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), recorded gains over the past 24 hours.

At the time of writing, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization was around $925 billion, representing a 24-hour increase of around 2.5%. BTC was trading almost flat at $20,655, while Ethereum climbed around 1% to $1,203 on Friday.
