The post Inflation on path to 2%, not a barrier to rate cuts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Christopher Waller spoke about interest rates, inflation and growth, discussing the US economic outlook in the year ahead. Among other things, Waller noted that he could see a slower path of rate cuts if GDP holds up or the job market speeds up, but added that inflation on its path to 2% is not a barrier to rate cuts. Key takeaways Inflation on path to 2%, not a barrier to rate cuts. The rate outlook after October is dependent on the labour market. If the job market continues to weaken, the Fed should cut toward a neutral rate. Rate cuts beyond the October meeting will depend on data. The neutral interest rate is about 100 to 125 basis points lower than the current Fed Funds Rate. I see a slower path of rate cuts if GDP holds up or the job market speeds up. The labor market is sending ‘clear warnings’ that the Fed should be ready to act. Main focus now is on the state of the job market. Fed’s Waller: Tariffs having modest inflation impact, inflation on track for 2%. A no-hire, no-fire job market is ominous. Alternative data shows a mixed picture for the job market. I see conflict between strong economic growth and a weakening job market. The labor market data contradicts signs of stronger growth.

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

The post Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin traded at $116,236 as of 14:04 UTC on Sept. 17, up about 1% in the past 24 hours, holding above a key level as markets await the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. Analysts’ comments Dean Crypto Trades noted on X that bitcoin is only about 7% above its post-election local peak, while the S&P 500 has risen 9% and gold has surged 36% during the same period. He said bitcoin has compressed more than those assets, making it likely to lead the next larger move, though it could form a “lower high” before extending further. He added that ether could join in once it breaks $5,000 and enters price discovery. Lark Davis pointed to bitcoin’s history around September FOMC meetings, saying every September decision since 2020 — except during the 2022 bear market — has preceded a strong rally. He stressed that the pattern is less about the Fed’s rate choice itself and more about seasonal dynamics, arguing that bitcoin tends to thrive in this period heading into “Uptober.” CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model, bitcoin rose about 0.9% during the Sept. 16–17 analysis window, climbing from $115,461 to $116,520. BTC reached a session high of $117,317 at 07:00 UTC on Sept. 17 before consolidating. Following that peak, bitcoin tested the $116,400–$116,600 range multiple times, confirming it as a short-term support zone. In the final hour of the session, between 11:39 and 12:38 UTC, BTC attempted a breakout: prices moved narrowly between $116,351 and $116,376 before spiking to $116,551 at 12:34 on higher volume. This confirmed a consolidation-breakout pattern, though the gains were modest. Overall, bitcoin remains firm above $116,000, with support around $116,400 and resistance near $117,300.
