Crypto Market Awaits Catalyst as Bitcoin and Ethereum Hold Steady

Bitcoin and Ethereum showed resilience in the face of a challenging macro backdrop, but investors are waiting for a fresh catalyst to drive the next leg of the crypto market rally.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $83,294, while Ethereum stood at $2,678. Over the past 24 hours, both cryptocurrencies fell slightly, with Bitcoin down 0.59% and Ethereum down 0.95%.
