Some traders and developers said the economic decision in the US fuelled the rally from last night in crypto but the sentiment for long-term recovery remains mixed. Kurt Gruemelart at Zerocap noted:

“Going into the meeting we have seen risk-off action across the board in global markets, crypto inclusive. The 50 bps rate hike was the most likely outcome of the FOMC meeting and the narrative has shifted to the Fed being in control and no longer behind the yield curve.”

The CEO of KuCoin Johnny Luy said:

 “The focus of the market was the announcement of the final decision of the FOMC to raise the benchmark interest rate by 50 points to the range of 0.75%-1.00%. This was the largest rate hike since May 2000.”
