#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Reserve’s FOMC meets May 6-7, with the rate decision set for May 7. Markets overwhelmingly expect rates to remain steady at 4.25%-4.5%. Persistent inflation, a Q1 GDP contraction, and rising jobless claims are driving the Fed’s cautious stance.

➡️ Key Points for Crypto Investors:

A rate hold may dampen hopes for near-term easing, potentially increasing crypto volatility.

Watch Fed Chair Powell’s press conference for hints on future policy-dovish signals could boost digital assets, while hawkish tones may pressure prices.

Macro uncertainty from tariffs and mixed economic data means crypto markets may react sharply to any surprises or forward guidance.

Monitor real-time updates and be ready for volatility around the announcement.
