US Fed Cuts Rates, Bitcoin Price Stabilizes Above $90K, ZEC Reignates Rally: Your Weekly Crypto Recap

2025/12/12 22:23

It was an eventful week in all financial markets, especially in crypto, as the US Federal Reserve cut the interest rates for a third consecutive time in 2025.

But before we head into the central bank’s decision, let’s recap what had happened with BTC’s price ahead of that major move. The asset was already rejected on a couple of occasions at $94,000 since the start of the month, and slid to under $88,000 last week after failing to maintain the $90,000 support.

However, that nosedive was relatively brief, and the bulls quickly drove the cryptocurrency to and above that coveted level of $90,000. They went on an even more impressive run on Tuesday, just a day before the highly anticipated FOMC meeting, and drove BTC to a multi-week peak of $94,500.

Following an instant rejection, the asset was on the rise again and retapped that level after the US central bank reduced the rates by another 25 BPS on Wednesday. However, bitcoin saw little success during this attempt as well, and the subsequent retracement drove it hard to $89,500 once again.

The bulls defended that line and quickly rebounded above $90,000 and even jumped past $92,000 as of press time. This puts it slightly in the green on a weekly scale, with a 1.1% increase. In contrast, HYPE has slumped by over 7%, while ZEC has resumed its Q4 rally. It has surged by more than 18% weekly to $460 as of now.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
