Bitcoin: Will the Fed Save or Sink It? 📉

by

So, apparently this week is important for Bitcoin. As if every week isn’t important when your life savings hinge on the whims of a digital currency invented by a guy who probably just wanted to mess with the banks. Anyway, everyone’s breath is being held for the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate announcement on September 17th. It’s like waiting for the principal to announce detentions. 😒

This “CrypNuevo” fellow – sounds like a particularly spicy salsa – thinks this whole thing could trigger a rally. Altcoins, he says, are already doing… things. Gaining strength, apparently. Strength, like a toddler attempting to lift a barbell.

Bitcoin Slows Ahead of Fed Decision

Apparently, markets get shy before big news. This CrypNuevo calls it the “spectator effect.” It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You *know* something’s going to happen, but you’re too paralyzed to look away – or, in this case, trade. Bitcoin is currently bouncing around between $114,000 and $115,577, which, honestly, just sounds exhausting to track. The indecision is palpable. And relatable.

On the basis that Monday and Tuesday could be boring days in the market… Wednesday should actually be very volatile.

Many traders are expecting it to be a sell-the-news event.

I disagree and in my opinion, we could see something like this on Wednesday during FOMC.

So, Wednesday. Fireworks. Or possibly just a small, sad sparkler. We’ll see.

Why It’s Not Just “Sell the News”

Our salsa-named analyst is going against the grain. He thinks a rate cut won’t cause an immediate collapse, because…well, because he says so. Here’s his reasoning, presented in neat little bullet points, as if that makes it more convincing:

  • Bitcoin hasn’t hit new record highs this week, thus reducing the chance of a dramatic nosedive. (It’s like saying you won’t fall as hard if you’re already at the bottom. Comforting?)
  • More money sloshing around with a rate cut, and since everyone isn’t already entirely convinced Bitcoin is the answer to all their problems, there’s room for it to, you know, grow. 🪴

He predicts a possible dip to $113K-$112K – a “reload” opportunity, apparently – and is eyeing LINK and XRP. Apparently, these are good coins. Take his word for it. He also suggests taking profits if Bitcoin hits $119.2K. Like there’s a surplus of rational decision-making happening in the crypto world.

Altcoin Market Shows Strength

While Bitcoin plays it cool, the altcoins are getting restless. Analyst Sykodelic (seriously, these names…) points to something called the TOTAL3/ETH ratio, which has reversed after a steep drop. (I honestly stopped trying to understand the terminology five years ago.) This means altcoins *might* be on the verge of a comeback, especially if Ethereum gets its act together and climbs towards $4600. Meanwhile, BNB is reaching for the stars, Solana’s nearing its peak, and DOGE is doing… Doge things. And some random coin called PUMP went up 40% to an $8 billion valuation. Eight *billion*. For a coin called PUMP. That’s just…something.

And then there are the even *more* obscure tokens, like $eMDR and $OVPP, which jumped over 100%. This seems less like investing and more like a digital lottery with extra steps. Money is flowing, people are taking risks, and I’m ordering another chamomile tea. ☕️
