The big Federal Reserve meeting is finally over and if you are looking at the charts wondering why we are not at 100k yet here is the simple explanation.
The Fed officially decided to cut interest rates by 0.25 percent today. This is actually good news because it is the third cut in a row. Usually when rates go down risk assets like Crypto go up because money becomes cheaper to borrow.
However there is a catch.
Even though they cut rates today the Fed signaled that they might slow down significantly next year in 2026. They are still worried about inflation staying sticky around 2.9 percent. This made the big institutional investors cautious. They got the cut they wanted but they did not get a promise that the money printer would go crazy again.
What this means for your bags
Bitcoin
BTC is currently stuck chopping around the 90000 to 94000 range. The market had already guessed this rate cut was coming so it was priced in. We need a massive catalyst to push through the 100000 resistance wall. If we lose 88000 support we might see a flush down to 80000 to scare out the late longs before the year ends.
Altcoins
Ethereum is hovering around 3400 and Solana is waiting for direction. Until Bitcoin picks a clear path upwards liquidity is not going to flow heavily into alts. It feels like a waiting game right now.
My Strategy
We are entering the holiday season where volume usually drops. I am personally avoiding high leverage trading right now. The market is choppy and it loves to liquidate impatient traders.
I am keeping my eyes on DeFi protocols. Since the Fed is cutting rates the yields in traditional banks are going down. This makes the yields on DeFi platforms look much more attractive again for big capital.
Stay safe out there and do not FOMO. 2025 has been a wild ride and patience pays off more than chasing green candles.
What do you think will happen next? Are we hitting 100k by New Year or are we cooling off?
