On October 7, CME’s “FedWatch” data shows a 5.4% chance of the Fed holding rates and a 94.6% probability for a 25 basis point cut.
Such a significant rate cut expectation has implications for cryptocurrency markets, potentially influencing investor behavior and asset flows, particularly in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
94.6% Rate Cut Forecast Sparks Crypto Market Optimism
The latest CME FedWatch data indicates a 94.6% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut in the Federal Reserve’s October meeting. Market speculation has grown as investors await confirmation of this outlook. CME Group, responsible for the FedWatch Tool, has yet to release additional executive commentary regarding these probabilities.
Market responses suggest optimism regarding potential Fed actions. Notable figures have remained publicly silent about specific FedWatch predictions, yet overall sentiment appears cautious but leaning positively in anticipation of a dovish shift. Institutional buyers, including major investment firms, are already making strategic moves toward cryptocurrency holdings.
“A key driver of the Bitcoin price increase was ETF inflows. However, [there are] other factors… such as ‘exchange supply tightness, USD weakness'” — Vincent Liu, CIO, Kronos Research source.
Interest Rate Movements and Historical Crypto Volatility
Did you know? Historically, surprise rate cuts by the Fed have triggered significant rallies across cryptocurrency markets, indicating investors’ preference for riskier assets when monetary policy turns accommodative.
