A crucial macro news event to watch out for is the FOMC meeting this week.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Surge in Bitcoin price helped crypto stocks<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Core Scientific (CORZ), the <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/research-center\/bitcoin-mining-statistics\/\">world\u2019s largest publicly-traded Bitcoin mine<\/a>r, surged an impressive 33% on Friday, while crypto mining firm Digihost Technology (DGHI) saw its shares jump more than 11%.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stocks of NASDAQ-listed miners Bitfarms (BITF), Stronghold Digital Mining (SDIG), Bit Digital (BTBT) and CleanSpark (CLSK) all ended the week in the green. Elsewhere, NYSE-listed Bit Mining and SOS ADR also rose.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) stocks also traded higher, with the US-based crypto exchange\u2019s stock soaring more than 15% on Friday. <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/exchanges\/coinbase\/\">Coinbase<\/a>\u2018s stock is up more than 73% in the past 30 days before markets open on Monday, 30 January. Robinhood shares ended the week 8% higher and were up nearly 28% over the past 30 days.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Bitcoin price, FOMC \u2013 what next for crypto stocks?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As noted, most of these publicly listed crypto companies saw their share prices soar alongside the positive price action of Bitcoin. But crypto has also largely correlated with stocks, with this week crucial in terms of the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>On the positive side of things\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">BTC\/USD reached highs of $23,955 last week and is up more than 40% year-to-date. According to recent data from crypto analytics platform Glassnode, BTC\u2019s recent upside momentum has the flagship digital asset\u2019s price above three key on-chain metrics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The breakout above $22,800 had Bitcoin above both the long term and short term cost-basis as well as Realized Price \u2013 the first time this has happened since 2020 COVID-19 induced crash. Also, the previous time when prevailing BTC price was above the three metrics was during the 2018\/19 bear market.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>On the flipside\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/opportunity-or-trap-glassnode-on-bitcoin-price-outlook\/\">covered<\/a> by CoinJournal, Glassnode suggested last week that bulls managing to hold above the $22.4k level would aid sentiment and potential further gains. However, this week could see recent momentum derailed if investor reaction to the Federal Reserve\u2019s FOMC minutes turns out to be negative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Investors are bracing for another rate hike this week, with markets expecting a 25 basis point increase. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/steveliesman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@steveliesman<\/a> reports on whether a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PowellPivot?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PowellPivot<\/a> is close: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BGF5sRScXE\">pic.twitter.com\/BGF5sRScXE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SquawkCNBC\/status\/1620033801828057088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 30, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although the market already expects a 25 basis point rate hike, some experts believe it would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNBCOvertime\/status\/1619081326115561487\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">disaster<\/a> for the markets if the Fed goes for a 50 basis point hike instead.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin was trading 1.1% down at 7:15 am ET on Monday as FOMC-related volatility likely began to set in across markets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/crypto-stocks-poised-as-bitcoin-holds-23k-ahead-of-fomc\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Bitcoin, Ethereum &amp; Crypto News ) Bitcoin miners Core Scientific rose 33% as stocks of Bitfarms, Stronghold Digital, CleanSpark all ended the past week higher.
