Attention, traders! The Federal Reserve's (Fed) decision has created more uncertainty than relief, and the crypto market has reacted with a widespread decline.
📉 BTC and ETH Lose Ground
- Bitcoin (BTC): Fell 2.4% in the last 24 hours, trading just below $90,000.
- Ether (ETH): Dropped 4% to $3,190. The
🗣️ The Fed's Currency Was the Problem
Although the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points (as expected), the risk market has deteriorated due to the future message:
- Six members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) indicated that a rate cut was not "appropriate." This shows a growing internal divide that raises doubts about future policy.
- The Central Bank disappointed expectations by projecting only one more cut in 2026, dampening enthusiasm for aggressive monetary policy easing.
- The lack of clarity regarding interest rates will persist until May 2026, when Chairman Jerome Powell will be replaced. The market expects that the new chairman, likely more aligned with the White House, will push for more aggressive cuts.
💡 QE vs Liquidity Management: It's Not "Lambo QE"
Many in the crypto community quickly called the Fed's new program "Quantitative Easing" (QE), expecting a massive injection of liquidity.
- The Fed is only buying $40 billion in short-term Treasury bills (T-bills) to manage the banking system's liquidity and prevent instability.
- Traditional QE aimed to inject trillions to lower long-term rates and encourage speculative investment.
📚 The price of Bitcoin is more sensitive to the Fed's future messaging and the unity of its members than to the rate cut action already priced in. The division and lack of future clarity have frustrated the rally.
- The market will likely need a period of "deleveraging" (more declines) to convince the Fed to act more decisively.
📌 Support at $90,000–$91,000 is vital. If it breaks down, the bottom of the $86,000 range will be the next target#ETHBreaksATH #BTCVSGOLD #Marialecripto #BTC #Ethereum
