FOMC Meeting – Impact on the Crypto Market

The June FOMC meeting has concluded with the decision to keep interest rates at 5.25–5.50%, as expected by the market. However, it is noteworthy that the Fed signaled only a single rate cut in 2025, instead of the three cuts previously anticipated.

This has led to a strengthening of the USD, while gold and Bitcoin have faced downward pressure. Immediately after the meeting, BTC briefly dropped to nearly the $106,000 level before making a slight recovery.

Impact on the Crypto Market:

   •   Prolonged tightening monetary policy has constrained the flow of funds into risk assets like crypto.

   •   Altcoins have experienced significant volatility, with many adjusting by >5%.

   •   BTC still maintains a medium to long-term upward trend, but short-term room for growth is limited.

Assessment:

This FOMC indicates that the Fed is in no hurry to pivot, and crypto will continue to feel pressure if inflation data remains hot. Investors should prioritize short-term trading and manage capital tightly, avoiding FOMO at times when the trend is unclear.
