With altcoins leading gains, investors are watching closely to see whether the rally extends or faces resistance at higher levels.<\/p>\n<p>However, much will depend on whether the Fed follows through with an actual rate cut in September and whether the Bitcoin reserve debate gains traction in the coming weeks.<\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto market cap has rebounded above $4T after Fed rate-cut signals.
