Santiment reports that the FOMC's decision today to keep U.S. interest rates unchanged led to an initial drop in cryptocurrency prices. Traders were hoping that Jerome Powell might decide to lower rates this time, which hasn't happened since March 15, 2020. If and when a rate cut occurs, it would be a bullish signal for cryptocurrency traders and could theoretically lead to increased prosperity for both stocks and cryptocurrencies through the end of 2024. As for what to expect next, after the emotional sell-off subsides, markets are likely to stabilize unless another major event shakes the cryptocurrency market.
