The #cryptocurrency market has been pretty uncertain in the last couple of weeks. #bitcoin (BTC) briefly crossed $28k earlier this month but has since fallen back down below $27k, while #Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below $1.6k. Many investors are uncertain if they should buy more, given prices are going down, or if they should sell in case prices dip even further. The current dip could be attributed to the U.S. CPI (Consumer Price Index) data due on Oct. 12. Many investors and traders anticipate some volatility leading up to the Federal Reserve’s announcement. With that said, let’s take a look at the top cryptocurrencies to watch this October.
