The price of Bitcoin (BTC) 
$82,864 is currently at $82,600, with altcoins remaining stable. Investors have entered a relatively calm week leading up to the Federal Reserve’s meeting, though volatility often increases before such contentious gatherings. Increased market activity is likely in the coming hours. So, what do the latest data tell us?
The Significance of Upcoming Announcements
The upcoming announcements on Wednesday are crucial for the short term. Members of the Fed will share their medium and long-term interest rate forecasts. The likelihood of seeing changes in interest rate predictions for this year and next is high, and the direction of these changes could significantly increase market volatility.
The Fed has long awaited a reversal in its economic policy, yet the sticky nature of inflation remains a concern. If fears of a recession, triggered by Trump’s tariffs, dominate, this may lead to decisions supported by recent favorable inflation data.
Expert Predictions on Cryptocurrency
In his latest assessment, Carl Moon focused on addresses holding over 1,000 BTC, indicating a trend of accumulation. This group, which purchased 60,000 BTC last week, shows that risk appetite remains strong for long-term investors. Furthermore, the slowdown in sales through the ETF channel provides additional support.
Miles Deutscher noted that heavily depleted altcoins will no longer provide easy short-selling opportunities.
“You will soon see many short squeezes in the market, particularly among aggressively hit altcoins. This situation results from short sellers closing their positions as funding becomes more expensive, potentially causing squeezes for late short sellers. Do not interpret this as a change in market structure.”
Miles prefers to remain cautious.
On the other hand, the global market’s concerns reflected in the stablecoin supply have led to a historic milestone, with stablecoin supply surpassing $200 billion for the first time. This indicates the pressure and fear affecting cryptocurrency investors.
“The market value of stablecoins has reached $200 BILLION for the first time. There’s a lot of dry powder waiting on the sidelines.”
The good news is that widespread fear has gripped the market, leading most sellers to make their moves. As sentiment begins to shift, it may soon be time for these players to start buying back in at a rapid pace.
