What is FedWatch and why crypto traders care !
FedWatch is a tool by CME Group that shows market expectations about the US Federal Reserve’s next interest rate decision. It doesn’t predict the future, it reflects what traders are pricing in right now.
Why does this matter for crypto?
Interest rate expectations often move $BTC Bitcoin and altcoins.
• Rate cuts = more risk appetite
• Higher rates = pressure on risk assets
That’s why FedWatch trends whenever an FOMC meeting is near. Traders watch it to understand sentiment, not to trade blindly.
Smart traders don’t follow signals.
They follow context.
