Why Has the Crypto Market Not Risen? Delay in Reaction and the Fed's Domino Effect 💰
The apparent stagnation of cryptocurrencies after the Fed meeting, where the expectation was for a more aggressive move, reflects the complexity of the market. Macroeconomic decisions such as interest rate cuts rarely generate an immediate reaction; the market often takes days or even weeks to fully price in the impact, adjusting to the new fiscal reality. Furthermore, the uncertainty about the pace and number of future cuts, as well as the need for more economic data (such as inflation and employment) to confirm the trend, injects volatility and caution. This hesitation causes investors to hold onto capital, resulting in sideways movement (stagnation) until a strong new catalyst, whether positive or negative, arises.
