The bitcoin price has struggled to regain momentum since hitting an all-time high in October, dropping 20% to plunge bitcoin into bear market territory (even as JPMorgan reveals a huge bitcoin bet<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now, as traders brace for U.S. president Donald Trump to deliver a bitcoin price shock<\/a>, analysts are scrambling to decode what the data blackout might mean for the coming Federal Reserve interest rate meeting.<\/p>\n

ForbesGoldman Sachs Quietly Issued A Serious Fed Warning As The Bitcoin Price Suddenly Bounces BackBy Billy Bambrough<\/a>\"Federal<\/p>\n

Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is stuck in a data blindspot ahead of the December interest rate meeting, with uncertainty piling pressure on the bitcoin price.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday was supposed to see the delayed release of the U.S. CPI report from October, but instead it appears the government shutdown has created a black hole in the flow of federal data that may never get repaired,” Nic Puckrin, crypto analyst and co-founder of The Coin Bureau, said in emailed comments.<\/p>\n

The Fed restarted its interest rate cutting cycle in September after putting it on hold due to fears Trump\u2019s trade tariffs could drive up inflation, delivering two consecutive interest rate cuts but leaving markets clamouring for more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the worst outcome from the point of view of policymakers\u2014it\u2019s tantamount to walking a tightrope with a blindfold on,” Puckrin said. “So it\u2019s no wonder we\u2019ve seen the odds of a December rate cut fall sharply, with just over half of market participants expecting lower rates come December 10, according to the CME\u2019s FedWatch tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yesterday, it was revealed economic reports for October may not ever be released because of the government shutdown. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Democrat shutdown made it extraordinarily difficult for economic economists investors and policy makers at the Federal Reserve to receive critical government data,\u201d press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in comments reported<\/a> by CNBC.<\/p>\n

However, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told<\/a> Bloomberg that the delayed jobs data for last month will be partially released.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs analysts warned the U.S. may have seen the biggest decline in jobs since late 2020<\/a> as the Fed trawls for data ahead of its December interest rate meeting\u2014which had been hoped to reigite the bitcoin price bull run<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a clear indication of how the economy is doing, investors may jump to worst-case scenarios,\u201d Puckrin added. “So, as the most uncertain FOMC meeting of the year looms, we could see a further flight to safety and defensive assets. Traders would do well to stay on their toes in the next few weeks, especially if they\u2019re allocating to high-risk assets like bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

ForbesJPMorgan Reveals Huge Bitcoin Bet As It Predicts A $3.5 Trillion Price BoomBy Billy Bambrough<\/a><\/p>\n

The bitcoin price has dropped sharply, setting off panic that the bitcoin price could see a full-blown crash.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the bitcoin and crypto fear and greed index, a measure of market sentiment, has fallen sharply to \u201cextreme fear” over the last week, dropping by almost 10 points over the last 24 hours alone. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe cryptocurrency fear index has fallen to 15, its lowest level since 4 March,\u201d Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, said in emailed comments and warning it could be an \u201calarming\u201d signal of things to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotably, the cryptocurrency market has been left out of the recent rally in precious metals and stock indices. If this is not an attempt by whales to lock in profits from the rally since April or even from the growth of the last two years, then it is an alarming signal of deep-seated risk aversion that is about to manifest itself in larger markets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bitcoin has fallen sharply, dropping under $100,000 per bitcoin to hit its lowest level since May\u2014and fueling fears…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":261677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[779,46581,46580,84,42746,3065,4168,59,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-261676","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-bitcoin","9":"tag-bitcoin-crash","10":"tag-bitcoin-price","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-crypto","13":"tag-fed","14":"tag-federal-reserve","15":"tag-gb","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
