Bitcoin and Ether prices have bumped up today. I think technically they were oversold so the prices are correcting upwards but Yellen's take on further Rate increases had a role to play as well generally in the risk on based assets.
If you see the graph below Japan, Europe, China and Switzerland have a dovish bias, whereas AU and NZ are neutral. With one more rate hike priced in which also looks uncertain, we are in an extremely low interest rate environment which will help the risk on assets esp. the crypto currencies to appreciate.
Canada is also in a watch mode however any recovery in oil will lead to inflation which typically will concern the central bank. UK on the other hand is recovering but with Brexit looming, the political future looks uncertain, and it;s unlikely they are going to raise the rates.
With the current statement from Yellen, it seems US will also join the pause and hold strategy which is probably a great news for crypto currencies.

Seems like you're jumping around a bit with your analysis on the nexus between monetary policy and FX markets, as well as monetary policy and crypto markets. It's not clear here how FX and crypto markets are correlated . But I like the overall theme. Stick with it.

The point I was making was that, we seem to be in a low rate environment, we have most of the central banks which are dovish with the exception of US. US will also turn neutral so that should be good news for Crypto currencies as I expect the funds to flow more towards higher yielding crypto currencies with this latest development. We live in an era where the markets are extremely globalized and we have seen this in play where some of the action from central banks has led to huge spikes in crypto (E.g. the demonetization by the Indian Goverment or the hyper inflation cases where people started buying crypto as a hedge)
