- The cryptocurrency market dropped sharply on Monday, September 22, 2025, after a brief rally.
- About $1.7 billion in crypto assets were liquidated in the past 24 hours, as reported by CoinGlass.
- There is a 91.9% chance the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October, according to CME FedWatch.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant decline on Monday, September 22, 2025, ending a recent rally sparked by the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 25 basis point interest rate cut. The downturn resulted in widespread losses across digital assets.
According to data from CoinGlass, $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrencies were liquidated within the last 24 hours. The sudden price drop followed heightened volatility attributed to uncertainty around global monetary policy.
The CME FedWatch Tool reports a 91.9% probability that the Federal Reserve will implement another 25 basis point rate cut in October. Rate cuts generally reduce borrowing costs and can encourage investment in riskier assets such as cryptocurrencies. A similar reaction occurred in the days following the Fed’s recent interest rate reduction in 2025, with prices briefly rising.
Market analysts suggest that a new rate cut could trigger another rally in digital assets. October has historically been a strong month for crypto, with positive trends observed in previous years. Confidence may further improve if the Fed adopts a dovish, or more accommodating, policy stance.
Bitcoin, considered the leading digital currency, typically sets the market direction for other cryptocurrencies. CoinCodex projects that Bitcoin could recover over the next several weeks and reach a new record price of $140,800 by December 21, 2025. This would represent a gain of about 25% from current levels. BTC entering a bullish phase will most likely lead to other assets experiencing respective rallies as well. How the market unfolds over the coming days will most likely set the tone for the rest of the year.
The week ahead includes several key economic events that may impact cryptocurrency prices. Market participants are closely monitoring the Federal Reserve’s next move and the overall economic outlook.
