The crypto market is sluggish today after the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that interest rates should be hiked more quickly to counter inflation. Powel said that they were considering a 0.5% rate hike for next month.

The development comes after the president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, James Bullard, said that he expects the interest rate to go to as high as 3.5% by the end of the year.

Following the developments, Bitcoin (BTC) had dropped to $40,515.77 form trading above $42,000 at the time of writing as the rest of the general crypto market traded sideways after retracing to a market cap of about $1.88 trillion.

Make or break level for Bitcoin

Market observers view the $40,000 level as a make-or-break level for Bitcoin arguing that how it performs from there determines whether there shall be another attempt at a bullish trend or the market will turn bearish.       

Majority of investors, however, seem to agree that now is the optimal time to invest in Bitcoin since the current surge in inflation has resulted to stocks collapsing and investors are clueless on how fast the central bank intends to hike the interest rates.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin has also been on the receiving end since it has shed about 20% since the beginning of the year. It had plunged to as low as $33,000 towards the end of January registering a drop of more than $35,000 from its all-time high of $69,000 that it set on November last year.

Containing the inflation using rate hikes

The inflation hit 8.5% last month and the central bank intends to raise the interest rates to counteract the rising inflation. There is also a discounted cash flow concept that aims at appraising high-growth investments like technology.

Some of the factors that investors have had to grapple with over the recent past include the rising inflation, geopolitical tensions as well as the central bank tightening monetary policies.

According to the minutes of the March meeting held by the Fed, its intention is to reduce its balance sheet by $95 billion each month.

Monero coin has been in the limelight for the better part of this year as the crypto market continued to trade sideways.

Why is the price of Monero (XRM) soaring?

Before we take a deep dive into what is influencing the current Monero price hike, it’s important for us to first explain what Monero (XRM) is.

In a nutshell, Monero (XRM) is the native token of the Monero blockchain, which allows private transactions using advanced cryptography. Monero was launched in 2014.

Now let’s look at the reasons behind the rally.

“Fluorine Fermi” Upgrade that will introduce new features

One of the main reasons for the surge is the announcement made via a post by one of the maintainers that they will upgrade the network (Fluorine Fermi) that will come with new features on July 16 at a height of block 2.6 million.

Besides, Monero will also increase its ring size (total number of signers during an XRM transaction) from 11 to 16 as well as provide users with base privacy.

Additionally, the network will also execute the upgraded version of its bulletproof algorithm to lower the transaction size by 7% to improve its scalability with a faster and lighter transaction.

According to the post, the network will also reduce the wallet sync time by around 40%.

Users to update their software

There will be a new release announcement about updates before the network upgrades around June 16. Users will be required to update their software before the network upgrade on July 16.
