#FOMCMeeting The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) plays a crucial role in crypto, albeit indirectly. Composed of members of the U.S. Federal Reserve, it decides on monetary policy, including interest rates. When the FOMC raises rates, it makes risky assets like cryptocurrencies less attractive, often leading to price declines. Conversely, rate cuts stimulate liquidity and can support the crypto market. Therefore, announcements from the FOMC are closely watched by investors. They influence the dollar, inflation, and market sentiment, all key factors for cryptocurrency prices.
