#FOMCWatch
⚡ Immediate impact on the crypto market
The announcement, considered a "restrictive tone rate cut" (hawkish cut), disappointed investors who were hoping for a commitment to greater stimulus.
The reaction was a widespread sell-off:
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC): Fell below the $90,000 level, with a weekly decline of more than 2.5%.
🔹 Ethereum (ETH): Showed greater sensitivity, with a drop of more than 4% in 24 hours.
🔹 Altcoins: Cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) recorded weekly losses of between 6% and 8%.
The decline was driven by the liquidation of leveraged positions and reflects a recalibration of expectations: the market anticipated a more aggressive easing cycle, but the Fed projects a slower and more controlled path.
