The post Fed’s Year-End FOMC Decision Sparks Hawk-Dove Debate as 25bps Rate-Cut Bets Rise Ahead of Powell’s Press Conference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Markets brace for the year’s final FOMC meeting, with the Fed expected to announce its rate decision on Thursday and Powell‘s press conference at 3:30 (UTC+8). According to CME FedWatch, odds of a 25 basis point Fed rate cut run around 84%, signaling a shift in expectations while a committee split keeps policy signals uncertain for crypto markets and broader risk assets. Investors scrutinize dissent among voting members, as five oppose easing and three favor a cut, a dynamic rarely seen since 2019. The outcome could shape liquidity, volatility, and risk appetite that drive crypto markets, with BTC and ETH sensitive to policy cues and the outlook for future rate moves. In the event of a dovish tilt or clearer guidance on the rate path, traders will monitor upcoming macro data and global central bank signals. Market calendars highlight the FOMC briefing as a focal point for asset pricing, while pre-Christmas trading volumes may thin as liquidity shifts.
