The Federal Reserve Under the Microscope:

Will the August 20 Meeting Propel Crypto to Explode or Collapse?

The market is anticipating the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on August 20, where the CME FedWatch tool shows an 83% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut.

Bitcoin is trading near 115,753$ and Ethereum at $4,290, leaving room for sharp movements.

• Rate cut = liquidity influx and increased optimism in cryptocurrencies.

• Holding or tightening policy = strong selling pressure and sharp volatility.

• Attention is also on Powell's speech at Jackson Hole, which may finalize expectations for the September meeting.
