Meanwhile, the Market Fear &amp; Greed Index dropped to 23, showing that traders are growing cautious amid ongoing uncertainty.</p>   
<p>With the Federal Reserve set to announce its latest interest rate decision today, all eyes are on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.</p>   
<p>The next few hours could decide the market’s next big move.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto market</a> is on edge as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting wraps up today. Investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, knowing that any policy shift could impact prices. While most experts expect rates to stay between 4.25% and 4.5%, the bigger question is what the Fed signals about future cuts.</p>   
<p>Fed Chair Jerome Powell has repeatedly urged caution, citing inflation and economic concerns as reasons to keep rates steady. Current expectations suggest that major rate cuts may not happen until mid-2025. However, Powell’s post-meeting comments could influence investor sentiment—if he hints at earlier rate cuts, Bitcoin and altcoins could surge. But if he maintains a strict stance, the market may face more selling pressure.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-investors-watching-powell-s-tone">Investors Watching Powell’s Tone</h2>   
<p><a href="https://t.me/QCPbroadcast/1425" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">QCP Capital’s latest report</a> suggests that while a surprise rate cut is unlikely, any hint of a more relaxed stance from Powell could boost markets. Investors are already shifting money away from Bitcoin and NASDAQ stocks into European and Chinese markets, which could signal a shift in capital flows. The market’s reaction to today’s Fed decision will likely set the stage for crypto’s next big move.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-in-a-tight-spot"><strong>Bitcoin In a Tight Spot</strong></h2>   
<p>Bitcoin has been hovering around $85,000 as traders prepare for possible volatility. Higher interest rates typically make traditional investments like bonds and savings accounts more attractive, pulling money away from riskier assets like crypto. If the Fed sticks to its high-rate policy, liquidity could tighten, potentially leading to a market downturn.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="433816"]   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-altcoins-benefit-from-rate-cut-signals"><strong>Can Altcoins Benefit from Rate Cut Signals?</strong></h2>   
<p>Despite concerns, there are positive signs. The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) has <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/u-s-cpi-report-today-live-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dropped from 3.1% to 2.8%,</a> showing progress in controlling inflation. If Powell acknowledges this and suggests rate cuts could come sooner than expected, investors may regain confidence, especially in altcoins.</p>   
<p>The coming hours will be crucial. If the Fed remains firm on high rates, crypto prices may drop further. But if there’s even a slight indication that rate cuts are near, the market could rally. Investors are analyzing Powell’s every word, as his message will likely determine crypto’s next big move.</p>   [article_inside_subscriber_shortcode title="Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!" description="Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more." category_name="News" category_id="6"]
