A Wild Week Ahead for Global Markets
#FedRateDecisions | 16-09-2025
Markets are gearing up for a volatile week with several key events lined up. The focus is on the Federal Reserve meeting on September 16–17, where a rate cut is expected. If Chair Powell signals more cuts ahead, it could spark a rally in altcoins and other risk assets.
On September 18, the U.S. jobless claims report will be released. A higher-than-expected number would point to a weakening economy, increasing the likelihood of further Fed easing — a potentially bullish sign for crypto.
Then comes September 19, when a massive $4.9 trillion options expiry could trigger heavy selling pressure, weighing on both stocks and digital assets in the short term.
Adding to the uncertainty, the Bank of Japan meets on September 18–19, with its policy decisions also capable of moving global markets.
Buckle up — it’s shaping up to be one of the most eventful weeks for traders and investors.
