Crypto Daybook Americas: Bull Momentum Stalls Ahead of Fed Rate Cut
Bitcoin and ether's bullish momentum has stalled due to a U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) report exceeding expectations, prompting investors to adopt a cautious approach. Despite this, Fed fund futures indicate a strong likelihood of a 25 basis point rate cut next week, and traders remain optimistic on decentralized exchanges. Open interest in active BTC call options has surged, indicating continued bullish sentiment, despite a measured approach to leverage in the market. Meanwhile, Avalanche's AVAX struggles against selling pressure as it approaches a potential bearish double-top pattern. LQTY, the token for the decentralized stablecoin lender Liquity, has recently doubled in value amidst overall market positivity. Additionally, a survey from Vietnam shows over half of its respondents reporting profits in investment and anticipates an altcoin season in 2025. Upcoming economic announcements, including the Fed's interest rate decision and GDP growth estimates, are expected to influence market activity significantly.
