“Bitcoin Is Topping Out” Before Fed Rate Cut Warns Peter Schiff

Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff said that the largest crypto is showing signs of topping out ahead of the much-awaited Fed rate cut this week during the September 17 FOMC meeting. BTC and the broader crypto market are showing signs of nervousness while facing selling pressure over the weekend. Despite gaining 4% on the weekly chart, BTC price is facing strong resistance at $116,000.

Peter Schiff Slams Bitcoin Performance Before Fed Rate Cut

Fed chair Jerome Powell is likely to make a major monetary policy pivot at the September 17 FOMC meeting,  as analysts expect a minimum of 25 bps interest rate cut. However, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff believes that this could be a major policy misstep. Schiff believes that proceeding with rate cuts during rising inflation will only worsen economic risks.

Expert Calls It Typical Crypto Market Behaviour

Crypto market expert Ted Pillows believes that U.S. interest rate cuts are typically bearish for risk assets in the short term, as they often signal underlying economic turmoil. Citing historical data, Pillows noted that three months after the first Fed rate cut, major U.S. stock indices have shown muted or negative performance.

However, he added that the outlook for crypto markets may differ. Pillows emphasized that digital assets tend to bottom before U.S. equities. The analyst believes that a similar trend could play out this time as well. So far in September, altcoins have shown greater strength than Bitcoin, with the altcoin season index moving higher.

Goldman Sachs expects the Federal Reserve to deliver three consecutive 25 basis point cuts in September, October, and December. The bank projects two additional cuts in 2026, lowering the federal funds rate to a target range of 3%–3.25%.

To read more editions, subscribe ​​“The most valuable commodity I know of is information.” — Gordon Gekko, Wall Street Ten months ago, FBI agents raided Shayne Coplan’s Manhattan apartment, ostensibly in search of evidence that the prediction market he founded, Polymarket, had illegally allowed US residents to place bets on the US election. Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…
