In hopes of avoiding a potentially catastrophic debt default, US lawmakers have agreed to raise the overall debt ceiling. As a result of the agreement to this deal, the US equities markets, along with the cryptocurrencies sector displayed signs of major recovery. As of now, the mass purchase of cryptocurrencies is not only limited to Bitcoin (BTC) alone as a number of altcoins have displayed signs of short-term up-move. However, there is a possibility that maintaining the rally at higher levels might get difficult for the bulls.
Biden shared a statement about the deal and said,
“The agreement represents a compromise, which means not everyone gets what they want. That’s the responsibility of governing.”
It is currently believed that traders would divert their attention toward the FED’s interest rate hikes after the debt ceiling deal. The recent data shared by the Personal Expenditures Expenditures has accelerated the possibility of another rate hike during the FED’s meeting in June. Currently, the possibility of a 25-basis point hike has increased from 17% to a whopping 64%.
