As the Federal Reserve gears up for a pivotal decision on interest rates this week, analysts predict it could have a lasting effect on the broader crypto market, particularly altcoins. This comes as the U.S. is set to release important economic updates. 

On Tuesday, retail sales data will show how much people are spending, which helps gauge economic growth. Also on Tuesday, a report on industrial production will bring forward the output of manufacturing, mining, and utilities. But the big event everyone is waiting for is the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates on Wednesday.

The crypto market is currently facing some turbulence, with a 4.5% decline in total market cap, reducing it to $2.12 trillion. Bitcoin has fallen, dropping from above $60,000 to just below $58,500. It appears to be heading towards $58,000, which has become a critical support level. Amid the broader market fluctuations, some altcoins have been thriving. 

Sui and Polygon: Leading the Altcoin Charge

According to analyst Altcoin Buzz, one of the standout performers in the altcoin space is Sui, a project often dubbed the “Solana killer.” Sui has experienced a strong rally, flipping Aptos to claim the 27th spot among the largest cryptocurrencies. The token recently surged to an intraday high of $1.10, marking a 137% gain from its lows just a month ago.

Polygon’s native token, now rebranded as “POL,” saw a surge of 50% on Friday following its new Binance listing. The crypto giant Binance announced that it had added spot and perpetual contract trading for POL on its platforms, marking the successful completion of the token’s upgrade and rebranding from its former name, MATIC. The token jumped from around $0.38 to nearly $0.45, reaching its highest level since late August and has since retraced some of those gains.
