  • The Federal Reserve maintained current interest rates, with Chair Powell delivering dovish comments on inflation trends.
  • Former President Trump criticized the Fed’s handling of inflation and called for significant rate cuts.

The cryptocurrency market experienced renewed confidence after Fed Chair Powell signaled continued inflation easing during Wednesday’s press conference. "Banks are perfectly able to serve crypto customers as long as they can understand and service the risks," Powell stated during the post-decision briefing.

ClickOut Media analyst Neil Roarty suggests the current interest rate environment remains conducive to risk assets: "The current 4.25% to 4.5% range is already proving low enough to sustain risk appetite, even if inflation is still higher than the Fed’s target."

The intersection of monetary policy and cryptocurrency markets has become increasingly pronounced. FxPro chief market analyst Alex Kuptsikevich attributed recent market hesitation to pre-Fed meeting caution, highlighting the growing correlation between traditional monetary policy and digital asset valuations.

Former President Trump’s criticism of the Fed’s approach has added another layer of complexity to the market outlook. In a social media post, Trump outlined plans to address inflation through energy production and regulatory reform, while criticizing the Fed’s focus on environmental and social initiatives.

Market observers, including Barclays economist Ajay Rajadhyaksha, anticipate Powell will maintain the Fed’s independence despite political pressure. This stance was echoed by Isabella Weber of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who warned about the perception risks of yielding to political pressure for rate cuts.

The CME Group FedWatch Tool indicates market consensus expects rates to remain stable in the near term, following three consecutive meetings of rate reductions. This monetary policy stability has contributed to Bitcoin’s resilience above the psychological $100,000 level.
