Cryptocurrency Investors’ Comments
The inflation data to be released on Wednesday will further shape market views for 2024 ahead of the Fed interest rate decision. If inflation is announced below expectations, this could increase investors’ risk appetite. In the opposite scenario, the Fed may consider making lower rate cuts this year or even pausing cuts.
On Wednesday evening, the 3-year Fed interest rate projections will also be announced. This means the markets will move as we see the average cut estimates for 2024 and 2025 from the members. Members aiming for an average 75bp cut this year seem to be mistaken. Besides this, there are significant developments for altcoins like ASI Coin and FLOKI.
