It was a bullish Monday session for the crypto top ten. Solana (SOL) led the way. However, despite the bullish session, BTC fell short of $20,000 for a tenth consecutive session while also avoiding a return to sub-$19,000.
There were no crypto events to influence, leaving the crypto market in the hands of the US markets and the UK government.
On Monday, UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt shredded the UK Government’s mini-budget, restoring order in the gilt market to drive demand for riskier assets. US corporate earnings also delivered support. Bank of America (BAC) and Bank of New York Mellon (BK) released positive earnings results.
The upswing in interest rates led to a boost in net interest income. The NASDAQ 100 led the way, rallying by 3.43%, with the Dow and S&P 500 seeing gains of 1.86% and 2.65%, respectively. This morning, the NASDAQ Mini was up 97 points.
