Crypto News Today: Bitcoin and XRP Stabilize While Ethereum Faces Resistance Ahead of Federal Reserve Monetary Policy Decision:
Caution Ahead of the Federal Reserve Monetary Policy Decision
It is widely expected that the Federal Reserve will keep the federal funds rate at the target range of 3.50% - 3.75% during its meeting on Wednesday, halting the monetary easing cycle after three consecutive rate cuts in 2025 that lowered borrowing costs to their lowest level since early 2023.
The CME Group's FedWatch tool shows that investors still expect a 97.2% probability that the central bank will keep interest rates unchanged, with only 2.8% of market participants expecting a cut to the 3.25%–3.50% range.
Interest rate cuts act as a catalyst for rising high-risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins, while maintaining low interest rates restricts liquidity.

U.S. President Donald Trump urges Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to significantly cut borrowing costs, but monetary policymakers insist on responding to market conditions and current data. The central bank often faces a dual task of reducing inflation to the 2% target and lowering unemployment.
U.S. job growth has slowed sharply in recent months, while the unemployment rate remains steady. However, with inflation surpassing the 2% target, policymakers may signal a temporary pause in the monetary easing cycle. Investors will closely watch the Federal Reserve's decision and Powell's press conference for any hints about the potential timing of the next rate cut.

Cryptocurrency Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP continue their price correction amid risk-off sentiment due to escalating geopolitical tensions.
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) prices continued to decline on Tuesday as risk appetite waned amid rising geopolitical tensions over Greenland.
U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Tuesday that he spoke with NATO Secretary General (NATO) about Greenland. Trump explained that Greenland is "vital to national and global security," and confirmed plans to hold multi-party discussions at the upcoming World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
These developments have increased uncertainty and sparked risk aversion among traders, which does not bode well for risky assets.
Today’s Chart: Bitcoin Momentum Indicators Show Early Bearish Signals
Bitcoin failed to hold above the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $95,787 on Thursday, dropping 3.35% over the next four days, and retesting the 50-day EMA at $92,348 on Monday. As of this report, Bitcoin is trading lower, below the 50-day EMA, approaching the next support level at $90,000.
If Bitcoin fails to find support around $90,000 (the previously broken upper consolidation zone), the decline could extend toward the lower consolidation boundary at $85,569, which coincides with the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement level (from the April low of $74,508 to the all-time high in October at $126,199).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is at 47, down from the neutral 50, indicating increasing bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also showed a bearish crossover on Tuesday, supporting the bearish outlook.
Conversely, if Bitcoin recovers, it could extend gains toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $94,253.
Daily chart of BTC/USDT

Bitcoin is struggling to break above the 95,000-dollar resistance level.
The price of Bitcoin fell below the 95,000-dollar level last Friday. Since then, this leading digital currency has been struggling to recover, reaching a low of $91,910 on Monday. The movement of Bitcoin's price within a defined range indicates two main levels, which are $95,889 and $92,412, both major exponential moving averages (EMA) as shown in the daily price chart.
The resistance level of $93,000 is critical on Monday, as the price has remained nearly steady over the past 24 hours.
The momentum indicator, which is a Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, shows shorter green bars above the neutral line, indicating a slowdown in positive momentum in the Bitcoin price trend.
The lower boundary of the price range, at $92,412, may serve as a key support level. A daily Japanese candlestick close below this level could indicate the potential for further price correction this week.
