    With 58.25% dominance, Bitcoin (BTC-USD) price has climbed above $101,000 in the crypto market due to improved buying sentiment. The word largest digital asset rebounded amidst the negative effects of DeepSeek on tech stocks in major markets.

    The global market braced itself for the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. CME’s FedWatch tool has predicted that there is a 99.5% chance that the Fed will keep its interest rates unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50%. Interest re-direction has the potential to impact BTCUSD price movement.

    Bitcoin was up 0.6% at $101,761 according to CoinMarketCap data. The most popular cryptocurrency’s 24-hour trading volume dropped about 44% to $48.65 billion.
