How will the Fed interest rate announcement affect the cryptocurrency market this week?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) (FOMC) of the United States is expected to hold an important meeting on March 18-19, with the potential to have far-reaching impacts on the US economic policy as well as the cryptocurrency market. In this meeting, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will make important decisions related to the US economy, especially whether or not to cut interest rates. Lowering interest rates is often seen as a positive signal, providing impetus for growth in the cryptocurrency market.

However, this year, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has repeatedly affirmed that he has no intention of cutting interest rates. This statement has led to capital outflows from the cryptocurrency market, affecting investor sentiment. At the same time, Powell and the FOMC are considering larger factors of the US economy, including the relationship between interest rate cuts and inflation, as well as the impact of tariff policies. These factors have led many to believe that Powell is unlikely to change his stance.

Currently, the cryptocurrency market is facing many significant challenges. Recently, the market has been in a state of "Extreme Fear," although this sentiment has somewhat improved. However, the cryptocurrency industry still lacks a compelling narrative to attract the attention of the general public. To survive and grow, a market not only needs to avoid crises but also constantly create growth momentum. Unfortunately, until now, such a strong narrative has not yet emerged.

In other words, the FOMC could be the biggest hope to spark a new momentum for cryptocurrencies. After the election of President Trump, the cryptocurrency market once witnessed a strong growth, but then stalled and lost the achievements. With the increasingly close relationship between cryptocurrencies and traditional markets, a downturn in this field could contribute to triggering a larger economic downturn. Therefore, this industry needs to find a way to restore investor confidence.

Does Trump's intervention change the situation?

This FOMC meeting could play a crucial role as a 'lifeline' for the cryptocurrency industry. The recent US CPI report shows lower-than-expected inflation, which has brought some positive signals to the cryptocurrency market. This data could help convince Chairman Powell that the US economy is resilient enough to withstand another interest rate cut. However, investors are not placing all their expectations on this report.

Instead, President Trump could play a crucial role in changing the landscape. He has publicly supported interest rate cuts many times and described himself as the 'Cryptocurrency President.' His administration has also taken many measures to support this industry. Therefore, it is not ruled out that Trump will exert pressure on the FOMC to promote interest rate cuts.

A classic example illustrating the influence of Trump is the recent event where he displayed Tesla products at the White House. Prior to that, Tesla's stock price had fallen, raising concerns about the company's value collapse. However, after Trump publicly endorsed Tesla on March 10, the company's stock price rebounded. Tesla, with its close relationship to the cryptocurrency market, is a clear example of Trump's understanding of the impact of market narratives on asset values.

In other words, Trump recognizes the power of market narratives and is willing to take action to influence them. If he can persuade the FOMC to cut interest rates, this could provide a crucial "lifeline" for the cryptocurrency market. Regardless of the outcome, the cryptocurrency community is still closely monitoring the next developments.
