The long-awaited day has arrived, with just hours remaining until the interest rate decision is announced. This will be an exciting day for crypto investors, shaping expectations for the coming months. Daan Crypto Trades emphasizes the importance of today’s event, noting that it will be the first interest rate cut in four years and will provide insight into how the Fed perceives the economy.
“Today is a significant day. Along with the first interest rate cut in years, we will see a summary of the Fed’s economic projections, offering insight into their outlook for the economy. Then, everything will culminate with Powell’s speech.
Volatility is guaranteed.”

Bitcoin Will Reach $300,000
Thomas Fahrer believes that Bitcoin (BTC) will soon embark on its journey toward $300,000. Although this prediction is based on gold price reactions to interest rate cuts, cryptocurrencies have not mirrored gold’s trajectory lately. While they have shown high correlation with stocks during downturns, they often diverge during upswings.
This divergence reflects the inherently riskier nature of the crypto market and suggests that many investors are cautious about taking high risks just before the Fed’s policy shift. Buffet has increased his cash holdings above the levels seen in 2005, indicating significant investor anxiety.
Thomas stated:
“Every beginning of a Fed interest rate cut cycle in the last 25 years has led to an increase in gold prices.”
“Bitcoin will follow suit, but with an even larger explosion. $300,000 is in play.”
