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.

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%.

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
