QCP Capital reports that hotter-than-expected CPI data has reshaped market expectations, delaying the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut of 2025 to December.
Bitcoin saw sharp volatility, plunging from $96.5K to $94K before rebounding to $98K, securing a 4.4% daily gain. In the options market, traders are heavily favoring short-term call positions between $97K and $100K ahead of February’s expiration.
Despite political pressure for rate cuts, QCP expects Fed Chair Powell to remain data-driven. The firm advises a strategic approach as markets navigate inflation concerns and crypto price swings.
