Key Takeaways
- The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will meet on December 10 to discuss and announce possible changes in monetary policy.
- Crypto analyst Ali Martinez says crypto could fall after FOMC meeting.
Crypto markets could see a decline after crypto analyst Ali Martinez’s upcoming meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee has warned.
Markets are pricing in an 87.6% probability of a rate cut at the December meeting. However, history shows that six of the seven FOMC meetings in 2025 led to price corrections, even as markets tried to approach the event with optimism, Ali said.
Past patterns indicate that the market could react bearishly despite expectations of a rate cut.
“The May 7 FOMC meeting was the only one that led to a 15% rally,” the analyst noted. “And as of June 18, Bitcoin continued to decline after each FOMC meeting. Statistically, Bitcoin tends to experience downward pressure around FOMC announcements.”
The FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve’s main decision-making body for monetary policy, will meet on Wednesday. Market participants will be on the lookout for signals from the FOMC as monetary policy decisions can impact sentiment and volatility in crypto markets.
