Strong move on Bitcoin and altcoins likely to happen
Sharing his take on the upcoming FOMC meeting that is to take place today, analyst Poppe stated that it is important to watch actions that the Fed Reserve would take in the next months. He does not believe that it is likely to implement an interest rate cut. However, “if the trajectory is to quit QT or to provide QE / rate cuts in the next 2-3 months,” Poppe said, he expects Bitcoin and altcoins to start “a strong move”.

I don't think we'll see a rate cut, but if the trajectory is to quit QT or to provide QE / rate cuts in the next 2-3 months,
I think we'll see a strong move on #Bitcoin & #Altcoins.
Remember: $DXY already…
The Bloomberg Terminal X account tweeted that analysts expect the Fed Reserve to “hold rates steady” and “signal one or two cuts this year.” Historically, interest rate cuts have been positive for the crypto market as in this case more liquidity starts flowing into risk assets, including Bitcoin and major altcoins. The Fed chairman Powell is also expected to make comments regarding the US tariff policy today.

Bitcoin may head back to $10,000: Bloomberg's expert
Mike McGlone from Bloomberg Intelligence has recently been predicting a major decline that he expects the world’s flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, to face this year.
McGlone named a particular price level - $10,000 - where Bitcoin might crash. The expert likened BTC to the dot-com bubble that exploded in the 2000s, leading the Nasdaq 100 index tracking tech giants to collapse by 80% at that time.
McGlone mentioned that gold ETFs are seeing big inflows this year, while investors have been withdrawing funds from spot Bitcoin ETFs. As if to agree with that prediction, the renowned investor Cathie Wood, the founder of Ark Invest, has begun to drop the company’s Meta shares. However, Wood remains a strong believer in Bitcoin’s potential, expecting it to soar as high as $150,000 this year.
