What is the leading focus for entrepreneurs at Wednesday’s Wednesday (FOMC) meeting (FOMC)
The Federal Reserve (FED) Open Market Committee, consisting of 12 officials, is set to announce its decision on interest rates at 18:00 UTC on Wednesday, following Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference half a press conference.
The Fedwatch’s tool of the CME Group indicates that the central bank is likely to hold the ground and retain interest rates that do not change in the range of 4.25% -4.50% despite President Donald Trump’s repeated demand for lower borrowing costs.
Therefore, the decision rate is a conclusion of foregone and crypto entrepreneurs are likely to focus on the interest rate plot of interest – the graphic representation that records the projections of each Fed official for interest rates.
“At rates expected to stay, merchants are focused on dot – plot: fewer than two expected cuts will harden Taller – for the longer narrative; A rugged surprise will ease the dollar and may not be able to unfreeze Crypto’s bidding. Until then, the patience rules, “the crypto trading and firm-market firm said XBTO.
A hawkish dot plot, which suggests fewer rates in the rate, can put pressure on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. The BTC rally has been stuck above $ 100,000, with geopolitical tensions in the Middle East which adds to the uncertainty led by the trade war.
“During 2025, expectations for rate cuts declined strongly, from a initial 100 points basis up to 50 points current. This revision is driven by an elastic labor market and inflation that, while transforming, remains more than 2% target. A long -term contradiction in the Middle East can reduce expected deductions to 25 points basis,” Matteo Greco, senior analyst in Fineqia, said in an email.
While the Hawkish Fed may be able to be down volatility in Bitcoin, it is likely to exacerbate the US fiscal situation by increasing the country’s debt delivery costs and thus strengthening the long -term appeal of assets such as gold and bitcoin.
