Fed Cancels December Rate Cut, 18% Chance of Hike, Slowing Bitcoin Rally
The Federal Reserve lowered its policy rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75%‑4.00%, but futures markets have now erased expectations of an additional cut in December, leaving an 18% probability of a rate hike instead. The shift reflects traders’ reassessment after the FOMC meeting, despite earlier optimism from easing inflation and a softening labor market.

Market participants now anticipate a more cautious monetary stance through year‑end.
