Bitcoin and select altcoins are showing signs of a short-term up-move following a tentative deal between the White House and House Republicans on the US debt ceiling. The cryptocurrency sector is attempting a recovery, with buying not limited to Bitcoin alone. However, sustaining the rally at higher levels may prove difficult for the bulls. Traders are likely to focus their attention on the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes after the debt ceiling deal, with hot Personal Consumption Expenditures data increasing the likelihood of a rate hike at the Fed’s June meeting.
