All Eyes on Crypto: What's Up with the FOMC Today?

By BreakdownFab | DecryptLab | 19 Mar 2025


I am intrigued by all the noise around the FOMC meeting today. Everyone is talking about it, but what’s really at stake?

I'll trade it on Hyperliquid, either short or long, but I won’t touch anything before Jerome Powell speaks—because, let's be real, I don’t have a crystal ball.

Here’s what’s happening:

🔹 Crypto loves liquidity. If the Fed hints at rate cuts or slowing quantitative tightening, we could see a Bitcoin rally. More money in the system = risk-on assets pump.
🔹 A hawkish Fed is bad news. If Powell signals prolonged high rates, brace for volatility. Crypto markets hate uncertainty, and we’ve seen BTC dump after past FOMC meetings.
🔹 Bitcoin’s track record around FOMC days: Historically, we've had increased volatility. Some traders fade the first move, expecting a reversal.

Right now, it’s all speculation. The real action starts when Powell takes the mic. Will he throw crypto a lifeline or trigger a sell-off? Either way, I’m watching closely.

What’s your game plan? Holding, trading, or just watching the chaos unfold?
