Will the rate cut cause Bitcoin to fall instead?

On December 10th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut, adjusting the interest rate range to 3.50%-3.75%, and also plans to purchase $40 billion worth of government bonds within a month. According to conventional logic, this kind of monetary easing should be bullish for BTC, but the market trend was unexpected.

That day, BTC did not rise but instead fell, dropping 2.14%, and the psychological threshold of $90,000 is in jeopardy. Why is this happening? The main reasons are insufficient buying power, with large funds quietly exiting, and many investors adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards rate cuts in 2026, hesitating to enter the market easily.

Looking back at past records, it’s not uncommon for BTC to crash sharply after FOMC meetings. The recent correction in October saw a maximum decline of nearly 30%. Short-term liquidity improvements are positive, but macroeconomic uncertainty and market sentiment volatility remain significant risks.

So, will BTC stabilize and rebound in the first quarter of 2026? It's too early to tell. Whether the key support levels can hold will be the focus next, and it’s wiser to remain cautious and observant.
