🚨 FED MEETING ALERT: WILL RATES STAY AT 23-YEAR HIGHS?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets May 6–7, and here’s what crypto traders need to watch:

Current Expectations:

🔹 Interest Rates Likely to Hold: 5.25%–5.50% (unchanged since March)

🔹 Previous Fed Signal: Three potential rate cuts in 2024

🔹 Eyes on the Dot Plot & Inflation: Will the Fed hint at a shift toward easing?

Market Impact:

A dovish Fed = Bullish for Bitcoin and risk-on assets

A hawkish tone = Potential short-term dip

Key Drivers:

✅ Inflation still above the 2% target

✅ Resilient U.S. economy reducing pressure for immediate cuts

✅ Crypto Correlation: Historically, rate cuts have fueled BTC and altcoin rallies

What’s Next?

FOMC Statement: Will they revise 2024 rate cut projections?

Powell’s Press Conference: Any signals on timing or inflation risks?

Trade Setup:

If dovish: Watch for altcoin breakouts

If hawkish: Prepare for potential dip-buying opportunities

YOUR TAKE:

→ Will the Fed stay cautious and delay cuts?

→ Or is a crypto pump on the horizon?

→ Is Bitcoin still the ultimate hedge against fiat and inflation?
