Bitcoin and Ethereum Wobble After Fed Holds Rates at 3.75%

Bitcoin and Ethereum faced choppy trading today after the Federal Reserve decided to hold the federal funds rate steady at 3.5% to 3.75%. Chair Kevin Warsh spoke after the meeting and offered no clear signals on when interest rate cuts or hikes might happen. Traders had been hoping for hints about looser monetary policy to help push crypto prices higher.

Risk assets often struggle when central banks keep borrowing costs high for longer periods. Without any firm timeline for rate relief, investors paused their buying activity. Both leading cryptocurrencies drifted lower in quiet trading sessions as the market digested the news.

Market participants will now watch upcoming inflation data and employment reports to guess the Fed's next moves. Until the central bank changes its tone, short term price action might stay sideways. Traders should keep an eye on key support levels as the wider market searches for fresh direction.
