BTC Rebounds $3K in a Flash Thanks to Fresh Fed Rate Cut Optimism
The massive volatility in the cryptocurrency markets continues, as bitcoin rebounded by over three grand after plunging below $81,000 to mark a new seven-month low just an hour ago.
The most evident reason behind this immediate increase is related to the US Federal Reserve. The President of the New York branch, John Williams, brought some hope back on the rate cut horizon, indicating that the central bank can indeed lower them “in the near term.”
Although he admitted that inflation progress has “temporarily stalled,” he believes there’s a way for the Fed to lower the rates again soon and also aim for the 2% long-term goal.
His remarks came after reports claiming that the central bank might not lower the rates during its December meeting, due to the delayed economic data for October and November.
US Fed Rate Decision on Polymarket
The odds on Polymarket also displayed the recent changes, as the no-rate-cut option had skyrocketed to over 60% in the past few days. However, the roles reversed after Williams’ speech, and now the 25 bps cut option is up to 62%.
Bitcoin also priced in his words immediately, going from its multi-month low of $80,600 to $84,000 in minutes, where it faced some resistance. Nevertheless, the asset has been falling hard for the past few weeks, going from over $107,000 on November 11 to the aforementioned low of under $81,000.
