#FOMCMeeting The **FOMC meeting** (Federal Open Market Committee) is currently underway, running from **June 17 to June 18, 2025**. Here’s what’s unfolding and what traders are watching closely:

### 🔥 **What’s Expected**

- **Interest Rates Likely Unchanged**: Despite pressure from President Trump for a 1% rate cut, the Fed is expected to **hold rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%** due to inflation concerns.

- **Inflation Watch**: Tariffs and rising oil prices (especially from the Israel-Iran conflict) are keeping inflation risks elevated, making the Fed cautious.

- **Dot Plot Update**: Investors are eyeing the Fed’s updated projections for future rate cuts—**two cuts are still expected in 2025**, but timing remains uncertain.

### 🌍 **Crypto Market Reaction**

- Surprisingly, the crypto market is **bullish ahead of the meeting**, with Bitcoin holding above **$106K**.
