Bitcoin price analysis

By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $83,901, up about 0.4% in the past 24 hours, while on the weekly timeline, BTC has fallen almost 13%.

At the current price, Bitcoin sits well below both its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $108,236 and 200-day SMA of $105,224, signaling a persistent bearish trend across short- and medium-term horizons. 

The price has broken through these key supports, reflecting sustained selling pressure and the potential for a deeper correction.

However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 23.14 indicates oversold conditions, deep in sub-30 territory, hinting at a possible short-term rebound as buying interest could emerge to counter exhaustion, though confirmation from volume or an SMA crossover would be needed to validate any reversal amid the broader downtrend.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

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 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…
