The Fed will announce its interest rate decision this week! How will Bitcoin ($BTC ) and other coins be affected?


Analysts explained two possible scenarios!
Analysts outlined what could happen if the Fed unexpectedly cuts rates at this week's FOMC meeting.
The Fed's interest rate decision will be announced this week, and this decision has attracted great attention in the Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency markets.
The Fed will announce this month's interest rate decision on Wednesday, July 30. The market generally expects a 97.4% probability that the Fed will keep the interest rate unchanged in July, while the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike is only 2.6%.
Although the Fed is unlikely to make any unexpected decisions this week, crypto analyst Paul Barron pointed out that the possibility of an unexpected interest rate cut still exists.
Despite the general market expectations, analysts predict that the Fed may unexpectedly cut interest rates in July, which could lead to significant increases in stocks, real estate, and cryptocurrencies.
At this point, Paul Barron outlined what might happen if the Fed unexpectedly cuts interest rates at this week's FOMC meeting.
Analysts say that unexpected moves could lead to significant gains in many industries, especially BTC and altcoins.
According to analysts, historically, the S&P 500 has performed well after such interest rate cuts. However, an unexpected interest rate drop could have a significant impact on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies; lower interest rates typically benefit higher-risk assets.
Despite some altcoins like $XRP and Cardano ($ADA ) facing profit-taking, they may regain upward momentum due to a decrease in Intrerest Rate.
Although a rate cut sounds optimistic for the market, analysts also outlined potential downsides. One of the biggest risks is rising inflation. He also pointed out that if the Fed cuts rates this month, it could indicate economic weakness, fostering consumer insecurity, which is not good news for consumers.
According to FED Watch, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates for the first time in September 2025.
