CryptMarket Analysis — 16-09-18
Crypto markets remain on edge ahead of the anticipated U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut decision scheduled for September 17. Recent news highlights heightened volatility: the Fed's decision is expected to deliver short-term jitters but may drive considerable upside for bitcoin, gold, and equities over the longer term as history and macro trends suggest. Meanwhile, Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs have seen almost $3 billion in inflows last week, signaling renewed institutional interest and a possible shift in momentum toward Ethereum, which has outperformed Bitcoin recently. Additionally, regulatory developments continue, with France, Austria, and Italy pushing for stricter EU oversight of crypto under MiCA, increasing focus on market structure and compliance across the region. Market participants are watching closely as policy and capital flows converge, setting the stage for potentially sharp price movements.
