📊 The big day of #fomc has arrived. Before the data at 3 PM, the markets are already breathing expectation — and each asset seems to be in a waiting rhythm. Let's go to the overview:


CLIMATE IN THE USA

Wall Street opened the trading session mixed:

📈 Dow Jones up slightly

➖ S&P 500 stable

📉 Nasdaq operating contained, pressured by tech

The technology sector feels the weight of news about Nvidia, with reports that Chinese companies may cut chip purchases, adding caution in the middle of Fed week.

💵 Dollar

The dollar retreats against the euro, near four-year lows, reflecting expectations of a rate cut.

Investors are already pricing in a 95% chance of a 0.25 p.p. cut today.

A reduction of 0.50 p.p. is still on the radar (around 17%), but it would be a surprise and should generate instant volatility.

₿ #Bitcoin ( $BTC )

Current price: ~US$115,600 – US$116,400

BTC tested US$117,300, a high since mid-August, before consolidating at the current level.

The movement comes from optimism around Fed cuts + strong inflows into spot ETFs (over US$2.3 billion just last week).

📌 Attention point: if Powell sounds dovish, BTC may seek new highs; if he sounds cautious, the market may pull back.

♦️ #Ethereum ( $ETH )

Quotation: ~US$4,486 – US$4,512

Slight decline on the day (-0.2% to -0.6%), but ETH has proven to be more resilient than Bitcoin this week.

ETH ETFs continue to attract institutional flow, reinforcing the long-term narrative.

_____________________________________________________

🌐 #Solana ( $SOL )


Operates in moderate movement, with no major variations in the pre-FOMC.

Despite today's calmness, SOL remains one of the most watched altcoins by the market, supported by the growth of DeFi and infrastructure.

_____________________________________________________

🖥️ Nasdaq ( #NASDAQ )

The Nasdaq Composite is moving sideways, reflecting investors' caution.

Pressure coming from tech (especially Nvidia) adds local volatility.

Index futures indicate that no one wants to position heavily before the announcement.

📌 Possible scenarios for today

✅ Cut of 0.25 p.p. + Powell dovish → stock markets and crypto up, relief mood.

🚀 Cut of 0.50 p.p. → surprise, stronger rally in tech and crypto

⚠️ Cautious speech → negative volatility, dollar may gain strength.

❌ No cut → shock, strong pullback in risk assets.

🔎 Final Summary

Today, the global market is in wait mode:

  • BTC tries to break US$117K

  • ETH remains strong around US$4.5K

  • SOL neutral, but on the radar of players

  • Nasdaq sideways, reflecting tension in tech

👉 The Fed's decision at 3 PM and, mainly, Powell's tone at 3:30 PM, will set the pace for the rest of the week.

Prepare for a day of volatility.
