Cryptocurrencies started March fast and Fed’s There are days left until the next interest rate decision. The developments that will take place over the next 7 days are very important for cryptocurrencies. As the Iran war enters its eighth day, we need to see significant breaks in its second week. Signals regarding negotiations may pave the way for rapid increases during the week.
Important Developments in Cryptocurrencies
The major employment revisions that came on Friday, March 6, eliminated the possibility of the Fed not cutting interest rates this year. Reports in January and February showed that the weakening in employment was over. However, while the December and January data were revised downwards, those who expected an interest rate cut were happy when the February report came out negative.
There is a 96% chance that interest rates will be kept constant at the March 18 meeting. The earliest discount will be at the September 16 meeting. Of course, if inflation weakens and employment data continues to arrive this way, rates may change in favor of risk markets.
