“Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a strong pace – well above earlier expectations,” Powell said during the meeting. 
The majority of the committee members believe that there is a need for another rate hike before the year ends while keeping a tight monetary policy in the foreseeable future.

Traders should be aware of an incoming bullish cross which would reinforce the bulls’ growing influence. This bullish pattern occurs when a short-term moving average flips above a long-term moving average. For instance, the 100-week EMA (blue) reaching out to cross above the 200-day EMA on the weekly chart.

Bitcoin’s rally started in October and now it has spilled into November. Investors believe that this recovery will continue unless an outside force emerges — more like Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion. 
In their latest note to customers, researchers at crypto services platform Matrixport implied that Bitcoin price has the potential to keep moving upward over the next two months in what they described as the “Santa Claus Rally.” 
“As bitcoin tends to reach its peak by December 18th, we could call the six to seven weeks from early November to mid-December Bitcoin’s Santa Claus Rally,” Matrixport report stated. 
The remarkable rally to above $35,000 can majorly be attributed to optimism surrounding the potential greenlighting of spot ETF proposals by the SEC. Matrixport believes&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-rally-bitmexs-arthur-hayes-explains-why-its-time-to-pump-bitcoin/?utm_source=24hrsupdatebitcoin">Bitcoin can rally</a>&nbsp;by more than 65% before December 31 which means it could end the year upwards of $65,000. 
“Based on these statistics, bitcoin continues to offer upside potential, and a +65% year-end rally would lift prices back to $56,000,” the researchers added in the note.
