ALTCOIN IS STILL "SILENT" DESPITE BTC AND ETH RECOVERING?

After the latest FED meeting early this morning, everything is much clearer.

1. Interest rates remain unchanged. But there is nothing to call a “sigh of relief.”

The FED still holds the interest rate at 5.25% – not increased, but there are no signals of a decrease either.

This is important, as money is still not cheap, and new capital is not easily flowing into higher-risk markets (altcoins).

At the same time, the balance sheet reduction policy (QT) continues. This means the FED is still pulling money out of the system and has not opened the liquidity pump as many had hoped.

2. Why hasn't the FED loosened?

Chairman Powell stated frankly: inflation is cooling down, but it is still not safe enough to let go.

Unexpected factors such as transportation costs, food prices, and tariffs, if they suddenly increase again, could cause everything to “reverse.”

Therefore, the current policy is to maintain stability and observe further – meaning they choose patience over haste.

3. What does this mean for the crypto market?

Currently, capital is still concentrated in places with clear intrinsic strength – such as BTC, ETH, and some top platforms with practical applications.

Meanwhile, small altcoins – which were once a “fertile ground” for strong price surges – are still left open, as there are no catalysts from public funds or new investments.

4. What scenario for September?

Currently, according to valuations from the financial market, the probability that the FED will continue to keep interest rates unchanged at the meeting on September 17 is over 50%.
