Investors are awaiting the Fed\u2019s announcement of a 25-basis-point rate cut. Following the meeting, <strong>Fed<\/strong> Chair Jerome Powell will host a press conference at 2:30 PM ET.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"1143\">Crypto and stock markets are focused on the signals that will come from this announcement. The potential end of quantitative tightening (QT) is particularly critical. Bitcoin, having filled its CME gap, could potentially rebound toward $120,000. Today is an important day as the Fed rate decision will be revealed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/fed-rate-decision-crypto-impact\/#Jerome_Powells_Speech_More_Important_Than_the_Rate_Decision\" title=\"Jerome Powell\u2019s Speech: More Important Than the Rate Decision\">Jerome Powell\u2019s Speech: More Important Than the Rate Decision<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/fed-rate-decision-crypto-impact\/#Crypto_Market_and_Bitcoin_What_to_Expect_from_the_FOMC\" title=\"Crypto Market and Bitcoin: What to Expect from the FOMC\">Crypto Market and Bitcoin: What to Expect from the FOMC<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1215\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jerome_Powells_Speech_More_Important_Than_the_Rate_Decision\"><\/span>Jerome Powell\u2019s Speech: More Important Than the Rate Decision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1438\">After September\u2019s 25-basis-point rate cut, FOMC officials indicated openness to further reductions. Powell stated that rate decisions will be taken on a meeting-by-meeting basis, depending on labor market conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1754\">He also emphasized that the Fed\u2019s QT program should end soon. Amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and limited economic data, investors are closely monitoring these remarks. September\u2019s CPI data showed lower-than-expected declines in headline and core inflation, but annual CPI rose from 2.9% to 3%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"1900\">CME FedWatch data suggests that investors expect a 25-basis-point rate cut in December, signaling potential volatility for crypto markets.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1907\" data-end=\"1966\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_Market_and_Bitcoin_What_to_Expect_from_the_FOMC\"><\/span>Crypto Market and Bitcoin: What to Expect from the FOMC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"2201\">According to popular analyst Michael van de Poppe, while a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut is likely, crypto volatility may surge today. Investors should avoid excessive leverage as prices could move sharply in either direction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2401\">Bitcoin still presents valuable opportunities compared to other assets. Buying near the $112,000 dip is considered a strong entry point.
