Macro-Economic Update

Key Data This Week:

The Federal Reserve Holds Rates Steady at 4.25%-4.5%!

As widely expected, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged in its January 2025 meeting, hitting a pause on its rate-cutting cycle after three consecutive reductions in 2024 that totaled 100bps. Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the central bank is not rushing to cut further, monitoring inflation progress before making additional moves.

What Does This Mean for Crypto Markets?

Historically, stable interest rates have been bearish for crypto, as they don’t inject fresh liquidity into risk assets. But this time, the market reacted differently: Bitcoin, Solana, and Ripple surged nearly 2% within an hour of the announcement!

A pause signals that rates won’t rise further, giving investors confidence in current liquidity levels, while high rates slow growth, a stable environment may boost appetite for speculative assets like crypto.

Forward Guidance & Fed’s Future Move?

If inflation cools further, the Fed may resume cuts later in 2025, which could be bullish for crypto and equities.

What’s Next?

Macro traders will watch inflation data, job reports, and Fed speeches for clues on future rate moves. If risk appetite stays strong, we could see further upside in digital assets!
