Why is today a very important day for the market? Stay tuned.

Today, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve (Fed) of the United States will conclude its two-day meeting and announce its decision on interest rates at 3 PM (Brasília time), followed by a press conference with Chairman Jerome Powell at 3:30 PM.

According to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, there is a 99% probability that the Fed will keep interest rates in the current range of 4.25% to 4.50% at this meeting. Market attention will be focused on the updated economic projections and Powell's statements, looking for signs of future interest rate cuts, especially amid uncertainties related to President Donald Trump's trade policies.

Historically, interest rate cuts tend to increase market liquidity, encouraging investors to seek higher-risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, maintaining rates may lead to a more cautious stance among investors regarding these assets. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around US$ 83.476, with a slight increase of 0.0064% in the last 24 hours.

Although today’s decision is unlikely to bring immediate changes, expectations about future interest rate cuts may influence the cryptocurrency market. Investors will be attentive to the Fed's signals regarding the future path of monetary policy, which could impact the appetite for digital assets in the coming months.
