Jakarta, Pintu News – Crypto markets are looking forward to next week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which is considered one of the most crucial events that will determine the direction of global markets. In the two-day meeting, officials will decide on Fed rate cuts, economic projections for the coming months, and the potential start of quantitative easing (QE).
Inflation is still above the 2% target set by the Fed despite recent rate cuts. Tariffs and the longest government shutdown have raised concerns about the state of the US economy.
The latest jobs data showed improvement in the US labor market, with next week’s JOLTs job openings data a key data to watch ahead of the FOMC meeting.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the US economy remains resilient and is likely to accelerate in the first quarter of next year. The end of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening (QT) could improve the financial system and liquidity in the market.
Markets remain vigilant as the FOMC looks for signs of renewed inflationary pressures or an economic slowdown. Market participants closely monitor comments from Fed officials for monetary policy clues.
The FOMC meeting and Jerome Powell’s press conference will be streamed live on the Federal Reserve’s official website and its YouTube channel. Investors waiting for the details of the monetary policy proceedings can watch the FOMC decision at 14:00 ET on December 10. Following the meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will hold a press conference at 14:30 ET.

Powell will reveal economic projections for the coming months and his stance on potential rate cuts in 2026. The Fed will also publish statements, implementation notes, and projection materials from the press conference on its website under the FOMC meeting calendar and information section.
Popular analyst Michael van de Poppe claims that Bitcoin and the crypto market will face volatility. Another 25 bps Fed rate cut could trigger a rally towards $100K. However, he calls the Fed rate cut a “good start” to the month, as Bitcoin price has already returned to $93K. The end of QT is expected to bring more liquidity into risky assets.
As reported by CoinGape, the US Federal Reserve (FED) has injected $13.5 billion overnight into the financial system. This follows a $25 billion liquidity injection in repo operations the morning the QT ended. Meanwhile, analyst Ted Pillows predicts crypto markets could fall first amid hints that QE may begin. “QE doesn’t happen until there are big cracks in the economy,” he added.
With various factors affecting global and domestic markets, the upcoming FOMC meeting is crucial to determine the direction of US monetary policy and its impact on crypto markets. Decisions on interest rates and QE will greatly affect the exchange rate of Bitcoin and other crypto assets in the coming months.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is a branch of the Federal Reserve System tasked with making monetary policy, including setting interest rates.
The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2025, with the monetary policy decision to be announced at 14:00 ET.
Fed rate cuts tend to increase liquidity in the market, which could trigger a rise in the price of Bitcoin and other crypto assets as investors seek assets with higher potential returns.
Quantitative easing (QE) is a monetary policy in which a central bank buys government securities or other financial assets to increase liquidity and encourage lending and investment.
The end of quantitative tightening (QT) usually results in increased liquidity in financial markets, which can support asset prices, including stocks and cryptocurrencies.
