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

The FOMC is set to meet on May 6–7, and here’s what every trader should keep an eye on:

Key Expectations:

🔹 Interest Rates Likely Unchanged – Expected to stay at 5.25%–5.50%, the same level as in March

🔹 Previous Meeting (March 2024): Fed paused rate hikes but projected three potential cuts in 2024

🔹 Dot Plot & Inflation Watch: Will the Fed maintain a hawkish stance or hint at early cuts?

What’s Driving the Decision?

✅ Inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target

✅ U.S. Economy remains strong – giving the Fed less reason to rush into cuts

✅ Bitcoin’s Historical Trend: Rate cuts have often triggered bullish moves in crypto

What to Watch For:

Fed Statement: Will they revise the outlook for 2024 rate cuts?

Powell’s Press Conference: Any subtle clues about the Fed’s future path?

Market Implications:

A dovish tone could fuel rallies in Bitcoin and altcoins

A hawkish stance may cause a short-term pullback across risk assets

Trading Strategy:

Bullish Setup: Dovish Fed = Potential for altcoin surge

Bearish Setup: Hawkish Fed = Short-term dip in crypto markets

What’s Your Take?

→ Will the Fed delay its rate cuts even further?

→ Is Bitcoin still the ultimate inflation hedge?
