Markets Expect October Fed Rate Cut as Bitcoin Repeats Post-FOMC Pattern
Bitcoin traders brace for volatility as the Federal Reserve’s October policy meeting nears. Markets widely expect a 25-basis-point rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate to between 3.75% and 4.00%, signaling continued monetary easing.
Data from CME Group and Kalshi show a 97–98% probability of the cut, with over $34 million in trading volume linked to this outcome. Analysts note that while the cut is already priced in, attention now turns to Chair Jerome Powell’s post-meeting remarks on liquidity policy and future quantitative easing (QE) plans.
