Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) once again moved above the $28,000 level on Wednesday, as markets reacted to the latest consumer confidence report in the United States.
The increase in confidence is seen by some as validating the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to marginally hike rates.
Following a low of $26,677.82 on Tuesday, BTC/USD raced to an intraday peak of $28,619.54 earlier in today’s session.

ETH/USD rose to a high of $1,825.60 on Wednesday, which comes less than 24 hours after the price was below $1,700.
As a result of today’s rally, ethereum was able to briefly rise above a recent resistance point at the $1,820 level.
