Crypto Prices Today (May 10): Bitcoin and major league altcoins have mainly embarked upon a remarkable bullish action, rallying against the backdrop of broader macro trends. While the flagship crypto briefly touched $104K as of early Asian hours on Saturday, ETH, XRP, BNB, and SOL surged 2%-6%. Some of the top meme coins for the day were DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE, which saw their prices rally 9%-13%.

Simultaneously, the broader crypto market rally further jacked up the total cryptocurrency market volume to $3.27 trillion. The current bullish action primarily emerges in tandem with market expectations of unchanged interest rates by the U.S. Fed in the latest FOMC meeting.

CoinGape reported that the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% this FOMC. Although this stance was hawkish, it remains in line with broader expectations. In turn, crypto prices have subsequently taken on and sustained a bullish trajectory.

In the interim, the U.S. trade war buzz has also cooled down in the digital asset sector amid recent developments. CoinGape reported that American President Donald Trump is looking to lower tariffs in China to 80%. Previously, Trump also made a remarkable US-UK trade deal, considering lower tariffs. The upshot remains a bullish action among risk assets as the broader market digests trade war tensions.
