Crypto Prices Today (May 10): Bitcoin Brushes $104K; ETH, XRP, SOL Surge 2-6%

Crypto Prices Today (May 10): It has been a remarkable bull run for the crypto market over the last few days. On Saturday, Bitcoin and major altcoins sustained the rally, surging in line with the favorable macro trends.

During the early hours on Saturday, the flagship Bitcoin traded 0.66% up at $103,622 after briefly touching $104K levels. 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 at 4.25%-4.50% in the latest FOMC meeting. Although the 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 on 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.
