a year ago

Last night, the FED announced a 25 basis point rate cut as expected. However, Jerome Powell's statements led to a decline in Bitcoin and altcoins.

Market Reaction to FED Decision

Following the rate cut announcement, Bitcoin fell below $100,000 but later rebounded. Altcoins like XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL) saw declines of 5.5%, while BNB and Ethereum (ETH) experienced smaller drops.

Jerome Powell's Statements

Jerome Powell stated that the FED does not plan to participate in government plans to create a Bitcoin reserve, which contributed to the market downturn.

That's the kind of thing Congress should consider, but we're not planning to amend the law.

Liquidations and Impact on Crypto Investors

According to Coinglass, $780 million was liquidated in leveraged transactions in the last 24 hours, with the largest liquidation in an ETH/USDT transaction on Binance worth $7.10 million. Analyst Nick Ruck noted Powell's remarks as the main reason for the decline.

The cryptocurrency market reacted strongly to Jerome Powell's comments, posing potential challenges to further price growth. Nevertheless, a central bank rate cut is typically seen as a positive signal for economic assets.
