Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Altcoin, Bitcoin & PancakeSwap – European Wrap 21 April

Altcoin Season Beckoning: What's behind Sui, Stacks and Fartcoin price rallies?

The cryptocurrency market gains strength on Monday, led by select altcoins like Sui, Stacks (STX) and Fartcoin, following another round of instability in United States (US) markets caused by President Trump's administration's plan to shake up the Federal Reserve (Fed), and possibly fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The US dollar (USD) tumbles, with the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, hitting a three-year low, with markets interpreting the White House's direct attack on Powell as threatening the central bank's independence, FXStreet reported earlier today.
