#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Reserve’s upcoming FOMC meeting on May 7, 2025, is drawing serious attention from crypto investors. With interest rate decisions and Powell’s speech on the agenda, the market is on edge.

After a long pause following aggressive hikes in 2022–2023, the Fed began cutting rates in late 2024, bringing the current rate to 4.25%–4.50%. Now, with a 94% probability that the Fed will hold rates steady, investors are watching closely.

Despite strong job numbers, inflation remains slightly high, clouding the timeline for future cuts. Experts say more rate cuts may come later in 2025, but there’s still no clear roadmap.

Market analyst King Baldwin shared his pre-FOMC outlook on X, pointing to the high odds of no change in interest rates. However, he warns that a hawkish tone from the Fed could send Bitcoin down to a support zone between $91,500 and $92,000.

signals a dovish stance or hints at near-term cuts, Bitcoin could rebound toward the $100,000 mark. Baldwin notes that Core PCE inflation stands at 2.6%, and recession odds are at 60%—both factors keeping investors cautious.
