U.S. Fed Meeting Tomorrow: How Will the Crypto Market React?
  • U.S. Federal Reserve will be announcing the next interest rate hike tomorrow.
  • The crypto market leader BTC is down 1.39% over the last 24 hours.
  • There is some bearishness present on BTC’s daily chart.

The U.S. Federal Reserve will be announcing an interest rate hike tomorrow. This follows after a series of interest rate hikes of 75 basis points were announced over the course of the year. However, tomorrow’s interest rate hike is expected to be lower than those that came before it.

The reason the market is expecting a lower interest rate hike is because the U.S. Federal Reserve Chair announced earlier this year that interest rate hikes will be lowered in December. If tomorrow’s interest rate hike announcement is lower than those that came before it, then the crypto market may experience a relief rally.

Should the interest rate hike be 50 basis points or lower, then the global financial and crypto markets will experience a small to medium relief rally. On the other hand, if the interest rate hike is above 50 basis points then prices across the board will drop even further.

Looking at the largest crypto by market cap, Bitcoin (BTC), the price of the market leader has dropped 1.39% over the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. This has taken its price down to $16,945.24 at press time.

The last 2 weeks have been uneventful for BTC’s price movement as BTC’s price has been in consolidation during this time period. The low levels of activity can also be seen in the daily 9 and 20 EMA lines, which have been neck-and-neck over the last 2 weeks as well. There is some bearishness as the daily RSI line has just crossed the daily RSI SMA line.
