1️⃣ What is #FOMC ?
It’s a group in the U.S. that decides interest rates — basically how cheap or expensive it is to borrow money.
They have 3 options every time they meet:
1️⃣ Rate Cut (Lower the rate):
▪️ Loans become cheaper
▪️ People and businesses have more money
▪️ They invest more in things like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins
✅ Good for crypto — prices usually go up
2️⃣ No Change (Keep the rate the same):
▪️ Nothing changes right now
▪️ But if they say a rate cut might come soon, crypto may still go up
▪️ If they sound worried or say rates will stay high, crypto might go down a little
▪️ Crypto reacts to their words too — not just the rate
3️⃣ Rate Hike (Increase the rate):
▪️ Loans become more expensive
▪️ People have less money to invest
▪️ They put money into safe options instead of crypto
❌ Bad for crypto — prices usually drop
Why does this matter?
Crypto is risky. When money is easy, people invest in crypto.
When money is tight, they don’t.
