📅 #FOMCMeeting – "June FOMC Recap: One Rate Cut Projected – What’s Next for Crypto?"
The Federal Reserve’s June FOMC meeting delivered a surprise: just one rate cut expected for 2025, down from the earlier forecast of three. Markets reacted with caution, and the crypto sector—always sensitive to interest rate expectations—felt the ripple effect immediately.
📊 Key Fed Announcements:
Benchmark rate remains at 5.25%–5.50%
Inflation concerns persist, despite progress
Projected median rate cut: just 25bps by year-end
🪙 Crypto Market Reaction:
Bitcoin dipped to ~$104K after the news
Altcoins like $ETH, $SOL, and $ADA retraced slightly
USDT inflows paused as traders adopted a wait-and-see approach
💡 Market Interpretation: This cautious Fed tone indicates that macro tightening isn’t over. For crypto traders, that means volatility may persist—but it also signals opportunity. The moment the Fed pivots back to a more dovish stance, crypto is historically quick to rebound.
🧠 What to Watch:
July CPI report (coming July 10)
Jackson Hole symposium in August
Stablecoin adoption & ETF inflows as parallel momentum drivers
