The bullish bounce came at the end of the day as BBIG surged into the closing bell, erasing the losses from earlier in the day. The move higher also came alongside a push by the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 which managed to finish the day in the green after trending lower for the better part of the session.

Vinco Ventures put an end to its recent five day losing streak, but still closes the week down over 11%. The NFT and Blockchain-based company had a nice run up to its all-time high price of $12.49, but has done little in the way of showing investors it will return to those levels in the near future.

On the topic of NFTs, Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) announced that it is beginning to explore the NFT market. The first step is to authenticate existing NFTs that users use as their profile pictures.

Twitter is also implementing the ability to tip certain Twitter users with Bitcoin, rather than fiat currencies.

The Fed kept interest rates on hold today, defying a 30% chance in the Fed Funds Futures market that rates would rise. The Committee voted 9-3 to keep rates on hold, with governors Kashkari, Hammack and Logan all voting to hike rates due to concerns about inflation. The immediate market reaction has been a sharp drop in the USD on a broad basis.
