Later today, the Federal Reserve will hold its fourth rate-setting meeting of the year, with markets widely expecting a 25 basis point cut. However, some analysts believe the bullish impact may already be priced in. BTC Markets crypto analyst Rachael and Vincent Liu, Head of Research at Kronos, both share this view.
In contrast, BitMine Chairman Tom Lee told CNBC that a rate cut could trigger a strong three-month rally for Bitcoin. BlackRock has also demonstrated its bullish stance through recent purchases.
