Cryptocurrency investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision set for tomorrow.
The Fed is anticipated to initiate a cycle of rate cuts, though the extent of the reduction remains uncertain.
While analysts predict a rate cut may lead to a subsequent increase in Bitcoin’s value, a recent assessment from crypto analysis firm Matrixport highlights historical trends.
The firm notes that September has often been a challenging month for Bitcoin, but this year’s declines might set the stage for a stronger performance in the fourth quarter.
Matrixport analysts suggest that Bitcoin’s recent positive momentum could lead to better-than-expected results, especially with a potential rate cut and robust US stock market performance.
They emphasize that October typically brings stronger results for Bitcoin, and the declines in September could present an opportunity for investors to position themselves for potential gains later in the year.
Ethereum’s blockchain underwent a significant shift on September 15, 2022, moving from a proof-of-work (PoW) security model to proof-of-stake (PoS).
Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market has been steadily climbing, now reaching 58.8%, up significantly from 51% in December.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have marked their tenth consecutive day of net inflows, reaching the longest positive streak since December 2024.
In February, the U.S. maintained its annual inflation rate at 2.5%, as reflected in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, according to data released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
