- Spotlight Data: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP Reactions to Cautious Federal Reserve Rate Hike Cut:
The Federal Reserve proceeded with the widely anticipated rate cut, bringing the benchmark lending rate to a range of 3.50%-3.75% on Wednesday, but Bitcoin responded with a decline to its intraday low of $89,389 on Thursday.
Although the rate cut was in line with expectations, it was characterized by a cautious tone. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized risks of rising inflation and a slowing labor market as factors supporting a reduction in the number of rate cuts next year.
The hawkish stance dampened hopes for broad monetary easing, prompting investors to take early profits and slow down the pace of gains. The Fed Watch tool indicates that interest rate traders expect the central bank to hold rates steady in January, with only a 20% chance of further easing to a range of 3.25% to 3.50%.
