#FedMinutesFocusOnOctoberPause
FOMC minutes: mixed signal, but a pause in October gains strength.
What the minutes revealed:
Fed raised 25 bps in September to 3.75%–4.00%
Policy makers split on the next steps
Most see another hike in 2026 as potentially appropriate
What the market is pricing:
Probability of a hike in October fell to ~20%
A pause is the dominant expectation
Why this matters for crypto:
A pause reduces pressure on borrowing costs
May support risk appetite
Positive for BTC if inflation cools
But watch out:
Many officials still see another increase before the end of 2026
Waller said further hikes may be necessary
A pause isn’t the end of the cycle
What to watch:
Inflation data
Labor market
Fed guidance
The question:
Is a pause in October the catalyst? Or does another hike come first?
DYOR.
