The Federal Reserve indicates the possibility of lowering interest rates in the near term $BTC preparing for the volatile month of December.


The Federal Reserve sparked a new wave of uncertainty in the markets after John Williams, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, indicated that a rate cut in the near term is on the table. Williams stated that monetary policy is still moderately constrained, and argued that there is room for easing, pointing to slowing inflation and increasing employment risks.
His comments sharply contrast with those of the more hawkish members of the Federal Reserve and come just weeks before the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on December 9 and 10, which is now the biggest macroeconomic catalyst for cryptocurrencies until the end of the year.
But the market is not convinced.
Morgan Stanley has officially reversed its call for an interest rate cut in December after a stronger job recovery and now expects the first cuts to occur only in 2026.
The gap is widening:
. The CME FedWatch indicator shows probabilities of
%64.4 to reduce Interest in December
Powell warns that December "is not a foregone conclusion"

. Many policymakers oppose taking another step after two consecutive cuts.

The Federal Reserve's unwind is already fueling volatility in risky assets. If policymakers lean towards an easing policy, liquidity may return to ( and ETH along with high-beta altcoins. If it stops, cryptocurrencies will face harsher conditions and sharp volatility.
With the variation in overall signals and daily changes in expectations, it is likely that Powell's upcoming statements will set the tone ahead of one of the most important meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee in 2025.
