{"content":"BTC Balances on the Edge ⚡ – Fed Winds Help, Trade Storms Hit Investors are up, intensifying US-China trade tensions, and betting that the Federal Reserve will drop interest rates again in October, stabilizing bitcoin prices following another tumultuous day on Tuesday. Bitcoin dropped to 109k yesterday before rising to 112.5K. Major cryptocurrencies paused after a turbulent week beginning. Today, Ethereum trades over 4100 after sliding to 3890 yesterday, while Solana trades above 200 after falling to 173 during the weekend. Fed rate drop optimism helps After a hard few days, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered his clearest suggestion yet that the Fed will lower rates again in October, improving the atmosphere. Focused on US labor market deterioration, not inflation. He observed that private employment metrics and Fed internal studies indicated the labor market was weakening despite the absence of new BLS data. The market anticipates back-to-back rate cuts from the Fed, with a 93% chance of 50 basis points before year's end, up from 79% a week ago. After Friday and Saturday's price drops due to US-China trade concerns and the greatest crypto liquidation event in history, the cryptomarket needs a Fed tailwind. After crypto's greatest liquidation event, which erased $20 billion, the fundamentals that backed Bitcoin's long-term direction remain unaltered. BTC ETFs saw $4.78 billion in institutional inflows this month. The large liquidity and deleveraging event may also provide a stronger platform for further upward momentum, although patience is needed. Attention returns to the Fed, and additional rate cuts may help. Trade disputes between the US and China may hinder short-term benefits. Trump threatened to cancel cooking oil commerce with China after Beijing denied US soybeans. Tuesday saw both sides boost cargo vessel tariffs. Trump meet later this month. Buyers must break 115k resistance to make a higher high if trendline support holds. #PowellRemarks #WhaleAlert #TrumpTariffs $BTC ","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025102025/10/15/f8594e912c132172f38181e380fa84f1.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["BTC/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
