The U.S. Federal Reserve decreased interest rates by a predicted 0.25%. After the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, Fed chair Jerome Powell announced that factors affecting inflation and employment were “pretty balanced.” Powell stated that economic activity continued to surge solidly, labour market conditions have somewhat eased and the unemployment rate remains low.
As Cointelegraph noted, markets were clear about the Fed’s action. On Nov. 8, data showed that most people expected a further 0.25% cut at the next FOMC meeting in mid-December. Trading resource The Kobeissi Letter discussed that if long-term inflation trends increased, the Fed’s rate cut might be at risk. However, as the current rate stands at 2.1%, it remains a big “IF” situation.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, didn’t seem bothered by these complex economy stuff as it set a new record and its highest-ever daily close. CoinGlass data showed that liquidity is building heavily on both sides of the current price. CoinGlass suggested that not trading might be the “best strategy” in this setting. Large amounts of BTC being traded was making the market overheated, leading to a potential correction, according to popular trading account CryptoMutant.
