Investors are waiting for today’s FOMC minutes — and the biggest question is whether October brings another rate hike… or a pause. Right now, the odds of a 25-basis-point October hike have fallen to just 21.6%. That’s a huge shift in expectations. But here’s what makes this interesting… 👀 The Fed raised rates to 3.75%–4.00% in September, but recent weakness in jobs data and softer inflation have made another immediate hike look less certain. And for crypto, this matters. A Fed pause could reduce pressure on financial conditions and potentially improve risk appetite. That could become a tailwind for BTC But there’s a catch… Bitcoin is already under pressure as the dollar and Treasury yields move higher. So tonight’s minutes could become a volatility trigger. Dovish Fed → liquidity hopes → bullish . BTC narrative? Hawkish Fed → higher-rate fears → more pressure on risk assets? The real question: Is October becoming the pause Bitcoin bulls have been waiting for… or could the Fed surprise the market again? 👀 Watch BTC + Fed expectations + Treasury yields closely. #FederalReserve #Fed #Crypto #InterestRates $ETH $SOL
