Crypto to SKYROCKET?! Bank Predicts Rate Cuts! 🚀💰

by

Crikey! 😲 The blokes at Bank of America (BofA), those clever clogs, have made a prediction! They reckon there’ll be four Fed rate cuts this year. Four! Can you believe it? And what does this mean, you ask? Well, hold onto your hats, because it could be a jolly good thing for the crypto market. Bitcoin and those funny altcoins might just go bonkers with excitement! 🤪

Bank Of America Predicts Four Rate Cuts In 2025

These rate cuts, according to BofA, are scheduled for May, July, September, and December. The US Federal Reserve might just ease its monetary policies quicker than you can say “Bob’s your uncle!” at the next FOMC meeting, slated for May 6 and 7. Cor blimey!

Now, as that brilliant news source Coingape has reported, the US CPI inflation data was lower than expected. Lower! This caused quite a stir, with traders suddenly thinking the Central Bank might chill out a bit, seeing as inflation is cooling its jets. The March PPI inflation data was also lower, adding fuel to the rate-cut bonfire. 🔥

But why else might the US Fed cut interest rates in May, as BofA so wisely predicts? Well, there’s this increasing suspicion that a recession might be lurking around the corner. A recession, you say? Oh dear! 😨

BlackRock’s big cheese, Larry Fink, even warned that a US recession might already be happening! Stone the crows! If these recession fears get any bigger, the Federal Reserve will probably jump in to stimulate the economy. Boston’s Fed President Susan Collins has even said they’re ready to pounce if needed. Good on ’em! 💪

Fed rate cuts are usually a jolly good thing for the market, injecting lovely liquidity into risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. And everyone knows the crypto market thrives on this sort of macro hoo-ha. It’s all rather exciting, isn’t it? 🎉

Trump’s Tariffs Continue To Hinder The Market

But hold your horses! 🐴 Amid all this rate-cut excitement, those pesky tariffs from Donald Trump are still causing a bit of a kerfuffle. Traders are getting all jittery about the uncertainty caused by the trade war between the US and other countries. What a pickle! 🥒

Bitcoin’s price shot past $86,000, only to plummet below $85,000 when reports surfaced that the European Union (EU) might slap counter tariffs on US goods. Blimey, what a rollercoaster! 🎢

And China’s digging its heels in too, refusing to back down from the trade war unless Donald Trump drops all those reciprocal tariffs. With all this uncertainty, experts like Bitiwise’s Head of Alpha Strategies Jeff Park reckon BTC‘s outlook is still a bit gloomy. Boo! 👎
