Federal Reserve's decision maintained: Potential impacts on the crypto market
On May 28, 2025, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on May 6-7, indicating a cautious approach amidst the current economic uncertainty. Yes! The interest rate has been maintained between 4.25% and 4.50%, and this decision has provided several important signals for the crypto market.
In situations where inflation and the labor market are fluctuating, the Fed has adopted a "wait and see" policy. This moment holds special importance for crypto investors, as assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH ) respond quite rapidly to global economic news.
🔍 Key Points: What we learned from the FOMC meeting
1️⃣ No change in interest rates
This is a clear message that the Fed is not rushing. As long as the economic data is not clear, they are in favor of keeping interest rates unchanged.
2️⃣ Inflation and Employment – A Delicate Balance
The minutes indicated that although inflation is still above the 2% target, the labor market is holding up so far. However, the situation has become more complicated due to recent trade policies (especially tariffs).
3️⃣ Will there be cuts in the coming months?
Many experts believe that if inflation decreases and the labor market comes under pressure, a rate cut could be possible in September, October, or December.
💹 Potential impacts on the crypto market
📉 Moment of recovery or stumble in Bitcoin's price
After the FOMC minutes, BTC was trading around $108,900. Market experts have identified a key support line, and if it breaks, a bearish situation could arise, while if support holds, a new wave of bullishness may occur.
📈 Strength of Ethereum and User Engagement
ETH is currently stable around $2,642, and a 8% increase in active addresses on the network has been observed. This trend indicates potential further price increases in the future.
🧠 Investor Psychology
The Fed's cautious policy may somewhat increase investment confidence in risk assets like crypto. However, if signs of a tight monetary policy emerge, the market could also turn bearish.
🔮 Glimpse into the future
In the coming days, all eyes will be on U.S. GDP and inflation data. This data will determine what changes the Fed will make in its policy and how the crypto market will react.
💬 In my opinion:
If you are a HODLer or interested in trading, now is the time to keep a close eye on the news. The market is certainly uncertain, but opportunity is hidden within it.
