The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates on September 17, a move that could inject fresh liquidity into financial markets and significantly impact the cryptocurrency sector. Historically, lower interest rates have encouraged risk-on investing, benefiting high-growth and speculative assets like $BTC
Bitcoin and $ETH
Ethereum. Analysts predict that this rate cut could serve as the spark for a major bull run, with Bitcoin potentially surging to $200,000 and Ethereum targeting $15,000. Such projections are driven by expectations of increased institutional inflows, retail buying pressure, and renewed market optimism.
Altcoins, often the biggest beneficiaries during bullish market cycles, are projected to go parabolic following the Fed’s decision. A historical “altseason” — where many smaller-cap cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin and Ethereum in percentage gains — could be on the horizon. As capital flows from large-cap assets into mid- and small-cap projects, traders may witness some of the most explosive price action in years. If these predictions hold true, September’s rate cut could mark the beginning of one of the most significant crypto rallies in history.
