Bitcoin was down 2.5% at $90,056.24. Ether dropped 4.3% to $3,196.62. The losses erased two days of gains and extended weakness that started Wednesday after the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.

The Federal Reserve cut its fed funds rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday. The central bank signaled it would take a cautious approach to future rate cuts.

Bitcoin experienced wild swings during Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference. The cryptocurrency spiked above $94,000 when Powell discussed potential labor market weakness. It then retreated to $92,000 after he said inflation remains a concern.

Bitcoin was trading around $92,000 for most of Wednesday. The price jumped to $94,400 during Powell’s comments about labor market risks. The gains disappeared after Powell warned that the fight against high inflation continues.

Recently, Bitcoin fell to $92,000, down 0.8% over 24 hours. Ether showed relative strength, wobbling above $3,300 and rising 1.1% during the same period.

Market Reaction

U.S. stocks posted gains before the close of trading. The Nasdaq rose 0.5% and the S&P 500 gained 0.7%. The dollar fell 0.6% against the yen, euro, and pound.

Powell said Fed policy is now within a range of plausible estimates of neutral. He stated the central bank is well positioned to determine the timing of additional adjustments.

Powell acknowledged a great deal of data will arrive before the Fed’s January meeting. This information will influence how the central bank moves forward.

Two FOMC members voted against the rate cut. This showed the decision was a close call complicated by incomplete data.

The New York Fed announced it will purchase short-term Treasury bills starting Friday. The purchases will target around $40 billion over the next month. This step aims to ease financial conditions without starting full quantitative easing.

Outlook Changes

Standard Chartered lowered its Bitcoin price forecast on Tuesday. The bank now expects Bitcoin to reach $100,000 by the end of 2025 instead of $200,000.

Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered said buying by Bitcoin digital asset treasury companies is likely over. He stated future Bitcoin price increases will be driven mainly by ETF buying.

Tony Sycamore from IG said the crypto space needs more convincing evidence that the October 10 selloff is complete. He said at this point it doesn’t look like that evidence exists.

Brian Coulton from Fitch Ratings said the relatively mild pickup in core inflation probably swayed the committee to cut rates. He expects just two more cuts by June 2026, taking the fed funds rate to 3.25%.

David Hernandez from 21Shares said Bitcoin needs fresh momentum to overpower concentrated short pressure at the $94,500 resistance zone. He noted this is where Wednesday’s burst higher hit a ceiling.

Oracle’s weak outlook raised fresh concerns about AI infrastructure spending. The company’s executives flagged higher spending as a sign AI outlays are not turning profits as quickly as hoped.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
