#FedHODL when the Federal Reserve (The Fed) decides to maintain the current interest rate without raising or lowering it.

This decision is usually taken if the economy is considered stable and does not require additional stimulus or further monetary tightening.

Impact of Fed Hold on Trading & Investing

• Stock & Crypto Markets Stable

If interest rates remain the same, the stock and crypto markets usually remain volatile but do not experience major movements.

• Investors may remain optimistic if inflation is under control.

US Dollar Tends to be Stable

No change in interest rates means the USD remains stable against other currencies.

If the previous market expectation was for an interest rate hike but the Fed holds it, the USD could weaken.

• Bonds & Loans Unchanged

Interest rates on loans and bonds remain the same.

There is no new incentive for investors to switch from stocks to bonds.

Difference Between Fed Hold vs. Fed Hike vs. Fed Cut

• Fed Hold → Interest rates remain the same.

• Fed Hike → Interest rates increase (usually to suppress inflation).

•Fed Cut → Interest rates are lowered (usually to stimulate the economy).
