Crypto markets saw a modest lift after the US Federal Reserve<\/a> made another move on rates, and traders are watching for a clearer follow-through. According to reports, the Fed has carried out three consecutive interest rate cuts totaling 0.75% from September to December. The move was widely expected. Still, market responses have been mixed and somewhat choppy.<\/p>\n

Fed Moves And Market Takeaway<\/h2>\n

According to CoinEx chief analyst Jeff Ko, much of the Fed\u2019s action was already priced in, and the updated dot plot leaned a bit more hawkish than some had hoped.<\/p>\n

Ko pointed to $40 billion in short-term Treasury purchases as a technical step to ease liquidity and lower short-term rates, not as a broad stimulus program.<\/p>\n

Markets took the measures as mildly positive. US stocks rose, and that helped Bitcoin<\/a> find some footing after an early dip.<\/p>\n

Santiment And The Short-Term Reaction<\/h2>\n

Based on reports from onchain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, each cut has prompted a classic \u201cbuy the rumor, sell the news\u201d move where initial optimism is followed by short selling.<\/p>\n

The US Fed made three strategic cuts over the past 3 months, resulting in a total of an 0.75% reduction to interest rates.<\/p>\n

1\u20e3 September 17, 2025: Fed lowered the target range to 4.00 %\u20134.25 % (from 4.25 %+) at the 16\u201317 Sep meeting.<\/p>\n

Cuts are seen as bullish for crypto over the long haul, yet they have triggered brief pullbacks in practice. Santiment adds that a small wave of FUD or retail selling often signals that the mild post-cut downswing is finished and a bounce may follow once things calm down.<\/p>\n

Technical Levels Traders Are Watching<\/p>\n

Bitcoin was volatile in the aftermath. It fell under $90,000 then popped to $93,500 on Coinbase<\/a> before settling near $92,300 at the time of reporting. Key resistance sits between $97,000 and $108,000.<\/p>\n

On the daily chart, BTC remains inside a small rising channel that sits within a larger downtrend, and technical traders note that a MACD histogram is approaching a positive crossover \u2014 a sign some see as possible renewed momentum.<\/p>\n

ETF activity<\/a> has been tepid, with only $219 million in net inflows since late November, which keeps some investors cautious.<\/p>\n

Dollar Weakness And Equity Signals<\/p>\n

A weaker dollar has been part of the backdrop; the DXY index<\/a> fell to 98.36 and is showing bearish momentum on its own MACD.<\/p>\n

Nasdaq\u2019s move back above its 50-, 100- and 200-day simple moving averages helped lift risk assets briefly, and that has supported Bitcoin\u2019s rebound attempts.<\/p>\n

Yet correlation with equities remains uneven \u2014 losses in stocks tend to hit Bitcoin harder than gains help it, creating an asymmetric risk profile for traders.<\/p>\n
