Analysis of Cryptocurrencies
In the coming days, Fed members will make a lot of statements. We are entering the most critical week before the November 1 Fed meeting as inflation data will be announced. If the upcoming data is in line with or below expectations, it will be extremely positive for cryptocurrencies. However, if fuel prices trigger an abnormal increase, it may cause excessive selling.
On the other hand, there will be IMF meetings throughout the week. The global economy is in a difficult situation, and there are states that are affected by Fed tightening as much as cryptocurrencies. Economic growth is weak, and uncertainty worries everyone. The IMF and the World Bank, known as the Bretton Woods twins, will hold their meetings in Morocco this year.
Wednesday is important because the Fed minutes will be released. One day will come and the minutes will uplift cryptocurrencies just as they devastated them at the beginning of 2022. Fed needs to ease at some point and announce it in the minutes. There is a high probability that we will see the opposite of what happened in the markets in early 2022.
