Jerome Powell stated the Fed won’t rush future rate cuts, hinting at possible moves later this year but with no firm commitment yet.

The speech is solid, no bearish vibes here. So stick to the plan, pullbacks in the next few days are a healthy buy chance if they happen.

Overall, the coming months look pretty bullish for Crypto and the stock market.

Here’s the FOMC September 2025 Summary:

Decision: Today, the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points, setting the federal funds rate at 4%–4.25%.
Purpose: First cut since December 2024, targeting “employment risks” due to a cooling labor market and slower growth.
Powell’s View: Called it a “risk management cut” to support jobs without reigniting inflation.
Vote: Not unanimous; one dissenter (Trump appointee Stephen Miran) favored a 50 bps cut.
Future Outlook: Dot plot projects one more 25 bps cut by year-end, likely October or December, aiming for ~3.9%.
Economy: GDP growth steady but slow; unemployment up slightly; inflation easing but pressured by tariffs.
Market Impact: Positive initial reaction; as expected very high volatility from Powell’s press conference tonight.
Takeaway: Fed’s easing cautiously to balance job growth and price stability.
