ATOM, ZEC Rocket Again as BTC Recovers From Another 7-Month Low: Market Watch

Bitcoin’s adverse price actions returned yesterday when the asset suddenly dipped below $88,500 to mark a new seven-month low before staging a modest recovery.

Ethereum also dumped hard but has returned to $3,000, BNB flirts with $900, while ZEC continues to trade higher.

BTC’s Latest Local Low

Recall that just over a week ago bitcoin was rejected at $107,000 when the positive US developments failed to provide the necessary bullish momentum for the asset to jump past $110,000. The following ten days or so were quite violent, which began with a nosedive to under $100,000 by last Thursday.

This time, the bulls couldn’t intervene on time, and BTC kept plunging to $94,000 on the next day. It finally found some relief over the weekend, remaining sideways between $94,000 and $96,000. On Sunday afternoon, though, the bears returned and drove it further south to $93,000.

The beginning of the current business week was quite painful as well as the cryptocurrency fell beneath $90,000 to chart a seven-month low. Although it bounced to $94,000 yesterday, it was quickly rejected and pushed back down below $90,000, this time bottoming at $88,400 (on Bitstamp), a level last seen in April 2025.

It has managed to recover some ground since then, but still stands below $92,000 as of press time. Its market cap struggles at $1.830 trillion, while its dominance over the alts stands still at 57%.

ZEC, ATOM on the Rise

Ethereum dumped hard yesterday, losing the $3,000 and even the $2,900 levels to touch $2,880. The subsequent bounce, as seen by analysts, is a perfect setup for a liftoff, and the asset has returned to $3,000 as of now. Binance Coin stands at $900 after a minor decline since yesterday. while XRP, TRX, DOGE, and ADA are slightly in the red.

In contrast, SOL, HYPE, BCH, and LINK are in the green. ZEC has rocketed by another 8% to $675, while ATOM has added 12% of value and now sits above $3. Pi Network’s native token has jumped by 8-9% after positive news on the regulatory front.

The total crypto market cap, though, has lost around $20 billion in a day and is down to $3.210 trillion on CG.

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market.
