Fed’s Pivot To Rate Cuts Is Dead – Analysts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In an X post<\/a> on December 10, market experts at global capital market analysis firm The Kobeissi Letter dissected the employment situation summary for December 2024.\u00a0 <\/span>According to the BLS, nonfarm payrolls employment rose by 256,000 jobs in this month, indicating an additional 100,000 jobs to the widely predicted figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following this report, The Kobeissi Letter analysts highlight that the US economy has gained an average of 165,000 jobs since July representing the highest 6-month average since July 2024.<\/p>\n

Considering the US Federal Reserve began implementing interest rate cuts from September 2024 citing then a reduction in jobs growth and inflation, the analysts at The Kobeissi Letter stated the Apex Bank’s approach may have been misguided in light of the recent developments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the Fed is expected to halt interest rate cuts to battle an expected heightened inflation due to a strong jobs data, with the potential of even adopting rate hikes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, an absence of rate cuts or introduction of rate hikes is negative for Bitcoin as lower Interest rates afford investors the capacity to deal In risky assets such as cryptocurrencies. <\/span>Following the Fed\u2019s previous announcement of potential reduced rate cuts in 2025, Bitcoin experienced a flash crash of over 9% mid-December as investors moved to close their volatile positions in all financial markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, The Kobeissi Letter forecasts that the Fed’s pivot to rate cuts is likely over, with a 44% probability that there will be no rate cuts through June 2025.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $94,028 reflecting a 0.22% gain in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the premier cryptocurrency is down by 3.72% and 6.35% in the past seven and thirty days respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the potential of reduced rate cuts in 2025, Bitcoin investors are likely to retain bullish sentiments due to other factors including historical price performance in a bull cycle, an expected pro-crypto US government and continuous institutional investments via the spot ETFs.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

With a market cap of $1.84 trillion, Bitcoin continues to rank as the largest cryptocurrency and world’s eight largest asset.<\/p>\n
