🟡 Today is a decisive evening for the markets: The Fed will announce its interest rate decision, and the markets are holding their breath 😬
— Today, May 7 at 22:00 Yerevan time, the Federal Reserve will conclude its meeting and announce its interest rate decision. Then at 22:30, Jerome Powell's press conference will begin, which the entire financial world — including crypto investors — will be watching.
📊 What the markets expect:
— With a 97% probability, the rate will remain unchanged: 4.25%–4.50%
— Reasons: weak GDP growth in Q1, but a strong labor market and inflation risks amid new tariffs
— The main question is what Powell will say: will he maintain neutrality or give a hint at tightening?
🧠 For Bitcoin, this is a moment of truth:
— BTC is trading above $96,000 and is reacting to every line from the Fed chair's mouth
— If the tone is soft → there is a chance of breaking through $98,500 and testing $100K
— If the rhetoric is tough → we could roll back to $94K and below
📌 Reminder:
— The Fed holds the key to global liquidity
— The crypto market is particularly sensitive to interest rates and monetary policy
