Bitcoin Bounces Above $84K as Fed's Williams Puts December Rate Cut Back on Table

Previously having essentially written off chances of further monetary ease in 2025, interest rate traders are now pricing more than a 70% chance of a rate cut at the Federal Reserve's December meeting.

What to know:

  • NY Fed President John Williams said Friday there's still room to adjust policy in the near term, putting a potential rate cut in December back on the table.
  • Continuing in the grip of panicky selling, bitcoin managed to bounce back over $84,000 from its morning low below $81,000; U.S. stock index futures rose as well.
  • The Fed's surprise hawkish pivot in late October contributed to bitcoin's rapid slide over the past weeks, now down more than 30% from its record level.

Bitcoin BTC$83,292.08 staged a modest rebound in morning U.S. hours Friday after a 10% selloff overnight as the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December jumped sharply following dovish remarks from New York Fed President John Williams.

"I still see room for a further adjustment in the near term to the target range for the federal-funds rate to move the stance of policy closer to the range of neutral," Williams told the WSJ. "Looking ahead, it is imperative to restore inflation to our 2% longer-run goal on a sustained basis. It is equally important to do so without creating undue risks to our maximum employment goal."

Williams' comments stand in stark contrast to those of leading Fed hawk, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, who yesterday more or less brushed off any labor market worry, instead choosing to focus on inflation and what she believes in a bubbly stock market.

Williams comments had immediate effect upon hitting the tape, sending the price of bitcoin from about the $81,000 to back above $84,000. It's was trading at $83,500 at press time, still down 9.5% over the past 24 hours. Nasdaq 100 futures also moved to a 0.35% gain versus about flat prior to the remarks.

Odds for a 25 basis point rate cut at the Fed’s December meeting spiked to 70%, up sharply from just 39% a day ago, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.
