Fed October Pause Could Be Coming — But Crypto Bulls Should Stay Cautious

Wall Street is increasingly expecting the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady at its October 27–28 meeting.

Latest market pricing puts the probability of an October rate hold near 82.8%, while a hike is around 17.2%. Weaker labor-market data has made another immediate hike harder to justify.

However, a pause does not mean a rate cut.

The Fed could keep rates unchanged while leaving the door open to future tightening if inflation remains elevated. That distinction will be important for Bitcoin, Ethereum and gold.

An October pause could reduce short-term pressure on risk assets and support a crypto relief rally. But elevated Treasury yields and persistent inflation could still limit upside momentum.

The big question is whether this setup leads to a real crypto breakout—or another bull trap before the Fed's next major decision.
