CRYPTO MARKETS GEAR UP FOR FOMC IMPACT – MY BITCOIN WATCHLIST UPDATED
Bitcoin ($BTC) Price:
BTC: 96,582.02 (+2.05%)
Tomorrow at 2 PM UTC, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision. While no rate cut is expected, the real market movement will likely begin 30 minutes later during Jerome Powell’s press conference.
Why I'm Watching This Closely:
Since the last FOMC meeting, we’ve seen a shift—inflation has cooled, but GDP growth has turned negative. That combination might push Powell toward a more dovish tone, possibly hinting at policy easing ahead. If that happens, I expect risk assets like Bitcoin to pump hard.
The QT Factor:
There’s also talk that the Fed might announce an end to Quantitative Tightening (QT). That’s huge. QT has been draining liquidity since 2022, and ending it could bring fresh momentum back into the markets—especially crypto.
My Bottom Line:
The actual interest rate won’t move the market as much as Powell’s words will. I’m watching BTC, XRP, and SOL closely. Big volatility is almost guaranteed.
