FED keeps interest rates unchanged.
But Jerome Powell just gave us a hint.
Altcoins. Liquidity. Bull run timing.
1/ The Federal Reserve just kept interest rates at 4.25%–4.50%
That’s the 4th pause in a row, and it was expected.
Only 4 of 19 Fed officials expect any rate cuts in June 2025.
That’s a message: No pivot yet.
2/ So why no cuts yet?
Simple: Inflation is above the Fed's current target
- CPI: 2.4%
- Core CPI: 2.8%
- Fed target: 2.0%
They’re not turning the money printer back on… yet.
Which means: Tight conditions stay longer.
3/ Yes, the economy is improving and jobs are steady, growth isn’t collapsing.
Fed is still worried:
• Tariffs from Trump
• Global tensions
• Sticky services inflation
Rate cuts delayed for now. But they will come for sure and follow China and Europe
4/ So what does this mean for crypto?
It means we’re entering an extended accumulation phase.
Not a blow-off top.
Not a crash.
Just a quiet period where smart money accumulates while everyone else snoozes.
TOTAL 2 | ALTCOIN MARKET CAP 👇
5/ Risk-on assets like altcoins won’t go vertical without more liquidity.
And liquidity = cheap capital = rate cuts or QE.
Until then:
• Altcoins will move on their fundamentals
• Bitcoin Institutional adoption
• Bitcoin Dominance needs to drop for big moves.
6/ This also explains Bitcoin’s resilience:
$BTC is still holding above $100k
Dominance rising
ETF flows healthy
While altcoins stay suppressed unless we see some solid pumps in narratives.
7/ So when’s the next real bull phase?
It’s not until the Fed pivots.
No rate cuts = no liquidity rush = no parabolic altseason.
That’s just how this market works.
You need the money printer to go brrrrr
8/ But here’s the good news:
This is the best time to position.
You don’t make 10x during the euphoria.
You make it during boredom, blood, and chop.
• Study the narratives
• Accumulate conviction plays
• Set targets
Interest rates will come down soon
9/ Zoom out:
The Fed is cautious, not bearish.
Crypto is strong, not over.
And the Altseason? Its just delayed
Accumulation → Repricing → Parabolic Endgame in Q3 and Q4
If you understand how macro moves markets, you stay 3 steps ahead.
This cycle isn’t done.
It’s loading.
Stack smart. Stay patient.
The real altseason comes when the Fed hits “print.”
