Investors are closely monitoring every signal from the American Federal Reserve (Fed), whose monetary policy could trigger a bear market.

The central question is thus: will Bitcoin suffer the effects of this uncertainty or will it seize the opportunity to assert itself as an alternative safe haven?
While the Fed hesitates between caution and action, inflation runs rampant, and crypto wavers, poised for a week of financial roller coasters.

Every decision made by the American Federal Reserve shapes the global economy and influences the cost of credit, the direction of investments, and the stability of financial markets. At its first meeting of 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) chose to keep interest rates unchanged, despite Donald Trump's persistent calls for monetary easing.

Bitcoin (BTC) started the last week of January with a significant drop below $100,000, reaching its lowest point in 10 days. Even though the queen of crypto slightly rebounded to $100,000, investors are navigating an environment of increasing tension! Between market volatility and uncertainties from the Federal Reserve... Here are 5 things to know about Bitcoin this week.
The relationships between political leaders and financial institutions are going through a phase of great tension. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has strongly criticized the Federal Reserve (Fed) and is calling for an immediate reduction in interest rates. This appeal, made during the World Economic Forum in Davos, comes at a time when the Fed, led by Jerome Powell, is maintaining a cautious approach in the face of persistent inflation and a strong labor market. Such a showdown highlights critical stakes for the American economy, raising questions about the independence of central banks on a global scale.

The year 2025 could very well start with a bang for Bitcoin, thanks to a massive injection of liquidity from the FED, which could propel BTC to a new ATH in March 2025.
The year 2025 begins under the sign of instability for the crypto market. After briefly exceeding the symbolic threshold of 100,000 dollars on January 7, Bitcoin experienced a dramatic reversal, falling to 92,500 dollars in just a few hours. This sudden decline cannot be explained by a technical factor but rather by major macroeconomic elements. Investors are closely monitoring the monetary policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), whose decisions directly influence financial markets. So far, many had anticipated a drop in interest rates as early as the first quarter of 2025. However, the latest economic data in the United States indicate stronger-than-expected growth, which challenges this assumption. As a result, markets are reassessing their expectations and adjusting their positions. This uncertainty has triggered a wave of liquidations that has contributed to Bitcoin's decline.
Between Trumpian euphoria and the cold mechanics of the Fed, bitcoin swings, a fragile king of a kingdom of uncertainties.
Bitcoin could reach between $150,000 and $400,000 by 2025, according to a report by Blockware Solutions. The projections depend on several key factors: the policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve, corporate adoption, and the potential strategic reserve of bitcoins under Trump.

The United States surprises with economic performance well beyond expectations for the third quarter. According to data from the Department of Commerce, the gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.1%, compared to an initial estimate of 2.8%. This result exceeds observers' forecasts and reflects a dynamic economy, driven by strong consumer spending and an improvement in exports. While many regions of the world struggle to maintain their economic momentum, as evidenced by the limited growth forecast of 0.7% for the Eurozone in 2024, this progress indicates the resilience of the American economy in the face of global uncertainties. These figures also highlight the impact of recent monetary decisions by the Federal Reserve, which has fostered a conducive environment for growth through adjustments to interest rates.
The crypto market is going through a period of high volatility, marked by a drop in the price of Bitcoin, now valued at $100,300. This unexpected plunge for many investors comes in the wake of the recent announcements from the U.S. Federal Reserve. While the 0.25% reduction in the federal funds rate appeared to align with expectations, the upward revision of inflation forecasts for 2025, now set at 2.5% from 2.1% previously, took the markets by surprise. In his speech, Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, emphasized that these adjustments reflect a cautious approach in the face of current economic challenges. These decisions have triggered shockwaves in the financial markets, increasing uncertainties and sparking a debate on the potential implications for crypto investors.
