[Analyst: If the Federal Reserve unexpectedly pauses rate hikes, Bitcoin may break $82,000] BlockBeats News, September 16, crypto analyst Ali Charts posted that although federal funds futures indicate a roughly 93% probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 25 basis points, he contrarily predicts that the Fed may maintain rates unchanged. He emphasized that this is not the market consensus but his personal forecast. The 'CLARITY Act' failed to secure the 60 votes needed for advancement in the Senate, dealing a setback to one of Trump's crypto policy goals. With midterm elections approaching, Trump needs political achievements, and another rate hike could increase economic pressure, potentially influencing Kevin Warsh and the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee's decisions. He stated that if the Fed unexpectedly holds steady, investors may readjust their positions, potentially driving risk assets higher. Bitcoin has only risen twice following the last 14 Federal Reserve decisions, but this time it may rebound from around $75,000 and break through $82,000. [Original link]
