🟦On January 28, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) began a two-day meeting—the first since Donald Trump’s return as U.S. President. The committee’s decisions could significantly affect cryptocurrencies, particularly amid speculation about potential interest rate cuts.
🟦While markets anticipate only a modest reduction, Trump’s policies, which include pressuring the Fed for rate easing, make the meeting’s outcome unpredictable. Lower rates could boost liquidity and drive cryptocurrency prices higher, whereas maintaining current rates might lead to stagnation.
🟦Additionally, the Fed’s post-meeting statements are always closely monitored, as they often have a profound impact on markets, including the crypto industry.
