​🦅 The Fed held steady and crypto feels the pressure ​The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged (3.50% to 3.75%). For the crypto market, which relies on liquidity, this pause in rate cuts feels like a bucket of cold water on short-term optimism. ​📉 Impact on Bitcoin (BTC) ​BTC was testing the barrier of US$ 90.000 before the decision, but the indication that the Fed is in no hurry to cut rates held back the rally. ​The problem: High interest rates in the US = Strong dollar. And when the dollar (DXY) rises, risk assets like Bitcoin tend to feel selling pressure. ​Support: Analysts are now looking at US$ 85.000 as the crucial support level. If it loses that, the "short-term winter" may arrive. ​🌊 Liquidity: The fuel for Altcoins ​Altcoins and memecoins rely on "cheap money" lingering in the market. With the Fed maintaining rates, this extra liquidity takes longer to arrive. ​Sentiment: The market enters a Wait and See mode. Volatility is expected to remain high, but without a clear direction until the next inflation data. ​🏛️ The "Trump vs. Powell" factor ​The crypto market is keeping an eye on politics. With Powell's term ending in May, speculation about a more "friendly" successor to rate cuts (and perhaps to crypto) may start to dictate the price even before the next meeting. #FedHoldsRates #GoldOnTheRise #WhoIsNextFedChair #TokenizedSilverSurge #BTC
