Volume patterns confirmed genuine institutional interest rather than retail speculation, the model said. DOT's 24-hour trading activity exceeded weekly averages by 34%.

Recent price action shows sustained bullish momentum, according to the model. DOT extended gains from $2.141 to $2.245 in the latest hour, posting a 4.9% advance beyond initial breakout levels.
The rally carved higher lows at $2.186 and $2.193 before accelerating through the $2.220 resistance on exceptional volume, exceeding 200K, in a concentrated three-minute window.
Technical Analysis:
- Primary support holds at $2.05 with former $2.15 resistance now acting as support; next target at $2.30 psychological level
- Breakout volume of 6.43M exceeded 24-hour SMA by 195%, confirming institutional backing for the advance
- Ascending trend with higher highs and lows; successful breakout from $2.00-$2.15 consolidation range
- Immediate target at $2.30; stop below $2.05 support maintains favorable 3:1 reward-to-risk profile

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC
The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening.

She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
