Upcoming FMC Meeting
Today is crucial as the FOMC meeting will determine interest rates.
The key times to note are the rate announcement at 2 PM ET and Powell's speech at 2:30 PM ET. This is the Last FOMC meeting until September; no meeting in August.
Predictions: A 95.9% chance of no change in rates, with a 4.1% chance of a rate cut.
The Astronomer analyst examined the last 10 FOMC events and identified a mid-timeframe pivot. The historical accuracy indicates an 80% to 90% probability of market reversals during these events.
Bitcoin Price Predictions
For Bitcoin to reach a price of $75,000 or $80,000, we need major catalysts, such as significant updates from Trump or the US government.
If Bitcoin trades between $75,000 and $80,000 before the September meeting, the impact of a rate cut may be limited.
Conversely, if Bitcoin remains at its current levels, a sudden price increase could happen upon the announcement of a rate cut.
Final Thoughts
If Trump wins the upcoming election, we may see major changes in the crypto space over the next few months.
Cryptocurrency generally follows a four-year cycle. After the all-time high in 2021, we’ve seen a downturn, but a solid recovery is expected.
Whenever the market trends downward, it’s a good opportunity to buy your desired tokens at attractive prices. The coming months could be the best time to Dollar-Cost Average (DCA) before we enter a new cycle in the cryptocurrency market.
