According to BlockBeats, analysts have observed minimal reaction in the altcoin market following U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's skepticism about further interest rate cuts this year. On February 11, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland noted that despite receiving what he described as the worst news of 2025, the crypto market, particularly altcoins, showed little sign of sell-off, with some even experiencing gains. This suggests that the market may have already priced in the expectation that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates throughout 2025. The absence of a significant sell-off indicates a strong possibility that the market has reached its bottom.
