🔔 Bitcoin Price Wobbles Ahead of Fed Rate Decision
Bitcoin ($BTC) dipped to $59,500 on Binance as markets brace for tomorrow’s FOMC meeting. While interest rates are expected to stay steady (95.6% odds via CME FedWatch), investors remain cautious amid rising stagflation concerns.
📊 Key Stats: • Current Fed rate: 525–550 bps
• Only 4.4% expect a rate cut
• Just 1 cut expected this year vs 6 previously
• 36% chance of no cuts at all in 2024
⚠️ Stagflation Looms?
GDP Q1 2024 slowed to 1.6% (vs. 3.4% prior)
Core PCE inflation rose to 3.7% (up from 2.0%)
Fed Chair Powell signals no confidence boost from recent data and hints at prolonged high rates.
💥 Bitcoin briefly surged above $64K on the back of spot BTC & ETH ETF launches in Hong Kong, but the rally lost steam amid macro uncertainty.
Stay alert—volatility could spike post-Fed announcement!
