“Bitcoin Flash Crash!!! Federal Reserve Issues Rate Cut Warning Triggering Crypto Market Mass Exodus”
Bitcoin experienced its largest drop in three months on Wednesday, with prices falling by as much as 5.9% to $99,490. This pullback was mainly driven by the Federal Reserve's signals of increased caution regarding future rate cuts, leading to an overall retreat in speculative investments in the market.
Despite the Federal Reserve cutting borrowing costs for the third consecutive time, its expectations for rate cuts in 2025 have significantly decreased, suggesting that future cuts may not happen as quickly as the market anticipates. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell clearly stated that more progress is needed on inflation, and the conditions for further rate cuts are not yet ripe. This signal has put considerable pressure on risk assets, particularly Bitcoin.
Given the strong inflation and economic data in the U.S., the Federal Reserve's cautious stance is not surprising. However, it undoubtedly serves as a catalyst for eliminating excessive speculation, especially after the U.S. elections, where speculative sentiment in the market rapidly intensified, driving extreme volatility in risk assets like Bitcoin.
As the Federal Reserve's position on rate cuts gradually turns cautious, market panic is slowly increasing, and Bitcoin may face more challenges in the short term.
