🚨 MARKET IN SHOCK: Fed cuts rates — and Bitcoin plummets! 📉

The Federal Reserve has just reduced the U.S. interest rates by 0.25 percentage points, bringing them to the range of 3.75% to 4% — the second consecutive decrease.

But instead of boosting the markets, President Jerome Powell's announcement cooled risk appetite. 🥶

💬 “A new cut in December is not guaranteed. Quite the opposite.” — Powell said.

The market understood: the end of cuts is in sight.

🔻 Immediate result:

Bitcoin ($BTC ) dropped to $110,140 (-4%)

Ethereum ($ETH ) retreated 5.6%, to $3,887

Other major cryptos also plunged between 3% and 6%

Even with the end of Quantitative Tightening (QT) marked for December 1, the Fed's tough talk scared investors.

Liquidity may return — but the risk of a pause in cuts weighed more. ⚖️

🧩 The Fed acknowledged operating "blindly," as various economic data remains suspended in the U.S.

Still, the Committee decided to move forward with the cut by 10 votes to 2, showing internal division over monetary policy.

📊 The Fed also announced it will begin reinvesting short-term securities, reducing the duration of the portfolio — an attempt to alleviate pressures in short-term credit.

For traders, the focus is now clear:

👉 If BTC loses $110,000, the next critical support is at $106,000.

👉 If it reacts above $114,000, it may reverse part of the day's losses.

The rate cut brought volatility, not relief — and Powell made it clear that the next move is still up in the air.
