๐จ URGENT MARKET UPDATE โ FOMC RATE CUT IMPACTING CRYPTO RIGHT NOW
The market is moving FAST ahead of tonightโs expected 25 bps Fed rate cut โ and volatility is already kicking in across majors.
๐ด Bitcoin (BTC)
BTC is hovering near key support after a sharp intraday pullback.
Traders are positioning aggressively because ANY hawkish tone from Powell could trigger a deeper selloff, but a clean rate cut + dovish guidance could send BTC ripping back toward resistance levels.
๐ High volatility zone โ expect violent swings post-announcement.
๐ต Ethereum (ETH)
ETH is holding stronger relative to BTC.
Rate cuts generally boost liquidity for risk assets, and ETH historically reacts better in early easing cycles.
If Powell signals more cuts in 2025, ETH could see a rapid relief rally.
๐ Watching for breakout above recent highs if guidance stays dovish.
๐ฃ Solana (SOL)
SOL remains the most sensitive to macro shifts.
Right now, traders are pricing in the rate cut โ but if the Fed disappoints, SOL could see the fastest downside wick.
BUTโฆ if Powell confirms easing continues, SOL is positioned for the strongest bounce among majors due to high risk-on behavior.
๐ SOL likely to outperform on a dovish Fed โ underperform on a hawkish tone.
