🚀 🔥 Bitcoin News: Analysts Say Fed Rate Cuts Unlikely to Push Bitcoin Above $120K 🔥

Key Takeaways:Analysts warn that expectations of monetary easing are already priced in, limiting Bitcoin’s upside.BTC faces resistance at $113,400, $115,400, and $117,100, with profit-taking by institutions.Without stronger ETF inflows or liquidity expansion, Bitcoin may struggle to reclaim $120K.Bitcoin’s chances of breaking above $120,000 remain slim even if the U.S. Federal Reserve moves forward with interest rate cuts, according to market analysts.Rachael Lucas, a cryptocurrency analyst at BTC Markets, noted that the weak U.S. employment report has fueled expectations of a more dovish Fed stance, which typically supports risk assets like Bitcoin. However, she stressed that “the market has already digested a certain degree of policy easing.”Lucas added that institutional investors are taking profits, while ETF flows remain stable but unspectacular. She identified resistance at $113,400, $115,400, and $117,100, and said a breakout above these levels would signal the market has absorbed recent selling pressure.Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, echoed the cautious outlook, arguing that rate cuts may not be bullish in the current environment. “Rate cuts are likely to reflect a weakening economy, while persistently high inflation and cautious risk sentiment are limiting risk appetite,” Liu explained. Without a pickup in ETF inflows or liquidity expansion, he warned, Bitcoin will struggle to break through the $120,000 barrier.

Key Takeaways:1.94 million Americans were long-term unemployed in August, the most since November 2021.The share of workers jobless for 27+ weeks rose to 26.3%, higher than in all past recessions except 2008 and 2020.Non-farm payrolls (excluding healthcare) have dropped by 142,200 jobs in four months, the steepest decline since 2020.The US labor market is showing signs of deeper weakness as long-term unemployment climbs at its fastest pace in years, according to analysis from TheKobeissiLetter cited by BlockBeats.The number of Americans unemployed for 27 weeks or longer surged to 1.94 million in August, marking the highest level in nearly three years.

🚀 QCP Capital Analyzes Market Trends Amid Economic Data Releases

According to BlockBeats, QCP Capital's latest report highlights the impact of recent economic data on various markets. Following unexpectedly weak non-farm employment figures last Friday, stock futures have continued to rise. This data confirms a weakening trend in the job market since June, when a 53-month streak of employment growth was broken. The market is now betting on a 72 basis point rate cut by the end of the year, leading to a drop in the two-year U.S. Treasury yield to a yearly low.

Despite the Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations boosting risk appetite in traditional markets, this sentiment has not extended to the cryptocurrency sector. While the stock market has rebounded and gold has reached new highs, cryptocurrencies have remained stable, trading sideways over the past week.

This sideways movement in the crypto market could be interpreted as a bearish signal, as indicated by a surge in demand for put options, particularly for contracts expiring in September. However, some analysts view this as a sign of resilience in crypto assets. For instance, Bitcoin has maintained its position above $110,000 despite being removed from the S&P 500 index, and Ethereum has stayed above $4,250 even with continuous outflows from spot ETFs over five days.

QCP Capital suggests that this lack of direction reflects market caution ahead of the U.S. inflation data release on Thursday. Short-term implied volatility remains high and may persist until after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is published. If inflation exceeds the expected 0.3%, it could complicate the Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory. Although the probability is low, the market is not unprepared for the potential impact of tariff policies.

Even if tariff policies temporarily spike the data, the current economic situation suggests a low likelihood of the Trump administration escalating trade tensions further. Therefore, unless this week's data triggers an excessive reaction, the crypto market is expected to remain well-supported in the absence of significant catalysts.

🚀 Potential Impact of Federal Reserve Rate Cut on Markets and Cryptocurrencies

According to BlockBeats, Tom Lee shared insights during an interview with CNBC regarding the anticipated effects of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut. Lee highlighted two main benefits: a reduction in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates, which may decrease as the spread with the 10-year Treasury bond narrows, and an increase in business confidence, noting that the ISM index has remained below 50 for 31 consecutive months, marking a historical record.

Lee emphasized that the expected rate cut in September will likely support the stock market, with small-cap stocks, the financial sector, and cryptocurrencies poised to benefit. He stated, "I believe the potential Federal Reserve rate cut on September 17 (announced early morning on September 18, UTC+8) will serve as a significant catalyst. Cryptocurrencies typically perform well in the fourth quarter, so I think Bitcoin could easily reach $200,000. I understand this is a substantial increase, nearly doubling, but these assets should experience such growth."
