This surge was primarily driven by the rise in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) prices by around 3% and 4%, respectively. The market rebound can be attributed to the risk-on sentiment following gains in US equities post the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to maintain interest rates. The US Dollar Index (DXY) remains low, down more than 6.04% since January. The Fed&#8217;s decision to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% with a projection of two rate cuts by the year-end has boosted traders&#8217; interest in risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Additionally, speculation about potential pro-crypto policy updates by the US government, especially President Donald Trump&#8217;s rumored announcement at the Digital Asset Summit in New York City, has further fueled market optimism. The technical rebound in the crypto market started after hitting a low of $2.44 trillion on March 11, aiming to surpass the resistance zone between $2.8 trillion and $3 trillion, where both the 200-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs) are positioned. A breakout above this zone could signal a bullish trend with targets set at the all-time high around $3.20 trillion. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also shown a bullish momentum shift from oversold levels on March 11 to a current reading of 47. This positive trend indicates a potential uptrend in the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cryptocurrency market in India witnessed a surge today, with a 3.2% increase in the total market capitalization to $2.8 trillion on March 20.
