What to know:

  • The Fed's preferred inflation measure, core PCE, likely increased to 2.9% in September, exceeding the 2% target for the 55th consecutive month.
  • Despite inflation concerns, volatility indices remain stable, with bitcoin's implied volatility index showing no major disruptions.
  • Analysts suggest that a softer inflation report could lower the 10-year Treasury yield and support a rebound in cryptocurrencies.

The Fed's preferred inflation gauge, core PCE, likely rose in September—moving in the wrong direction. Yet volatility indices show no signs of major turbulence.

The core PCE likely rose 2.9% year-on-year in September, heading in the wrong direction from the Fed's goal of a 2% annual rate, according to FactSet. If the actual figure matches estimates, it would mark 55 straight months of inflation above the Fed's 2% target. The sticky inflation would strengthen the Fed hawks, who are in favor of slower rate cuts.

Still, as of writing, Volmex's annualized one-day bitcoin implied volatility index , BVIV, hovered in familiar ranges around 36%, according to data source TradingView. That equates to a 24-hour expected price swing of 1.88%, which is nothing out of ordinary.

Low volatility expectations likely stem from anticipated Fed rate cuts next week regardless of PCE data. CME's FedWatch tool prices a 25 basis point cut on Dec. 10 as a done deal.

A softer-than-expected report could send the 10-year Treasury yield below 4%, helping BTC break out its two-day trading range of $92,000-$94,000.

"A softer labor read and contained PCE would reinforce the easing narrative supporting crypto’s rebound, while any upside surprise may keep markets range-bound until the Fed clarifies its path," Iliya Kalchev, Nexo Dispatch analyst, said in an email.

Analysts at ING, however, have warned that any decline in the benchmark yield could be short-lived.

The data could have similar impact on alternative cryptocurrencies.

Speaking of ether, it's one-day implied volatility index was 57.23%, implying a 24-hour price swing of 3%, slightly higher than bitcoin. Meanwhile, SOL's volatility index signals a 3.86% price move, with XRP at 4.3%.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
