Bitcoin, Ethereum, $BNB, $XRP, and Solana face three September events central to their fourth-quarter outlook. U.S. inflation data, the Federal Reserve's rate decision, and a Senate crypto vote will test demand as their recent recovery comes under pressure.

How Could September's Fed Decision Affect Q4?

August U.S. consumer inflation data is due September 11, followed by the Fed's September 15-16 meeting. The federal funds target remains 3.50%-3.75%. September's projections will help shape expectations for the October 27-28 and December 8-9 meetings.

According to Reuters, futures priced roughly a 70% chance of a quarter-point increase on September 10 after producer-price data, Reuters reported. Most economists in its September 9 poll, however, expected unchanged rates.
