The Fed’s **May 6-7 meeting** is here, and the stakes are high. Here’s what every trader needs to watch:
### **🔹 Key Expectations**
- **Rates likely unchanged at 5.25%-5.50%** (23-year high, same as March).
- **Dot Plot & Guidance**: Will the Fed stick to its **2024 rate-cut forecast** (3 cuts expected), or delay due to sticky inflation?
- **Powell’s Tone**: Dovish hints = market rally 🚀; hawkish hold = short-term dip.
### **🔹 Market Catalysts**
✅ **Inflation**: Still above 2% target (PCE at 2.7% YoY).
✅ **Strong Jobs & GDP**: Economy resilient = less urgency for cuts.
✅ **Bitcoin & Crypto**: Rate cuts historically bullish—will BTC break out?
### **🔹 Trading Implications**
- **Dovish Fed?** → **Altcoin season pumps** (risk-on mode).
- **Hawkish Hold?** → Short-term pullback, but buys on dips.
### **🔥 Burning Questions**
→ Will the Fed **delay cuts to 2025**, or is a **late-2024 crypto rally** still alive?
