Fed’s Announcement Triggers Bitcoin’s Recovery

Critically, The Federal Reserve revealed it would lower the monthly cap on Treasury securities rolloffs from the current $60 billion to $25 billion. Furthermore, the central bank left the mortgage-backed securities runoff cap unchanged at $35 billion per month.

According to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, the new caps could translate to a monthly balance sheet reduction of around $40 billion. This is down from the previous pace of $95 billion. Powell emphasized that the decision aimed to approach the Fed’s ultimate balance sheet level gradually, mitigating potential market disruptions.

“The decision to slow the pace of runoff does not mean that our balance sheet will ultimately shrink by less than it would otherwise, but rather allows us to approach its ultimate level more gradually,”

Powell stated during the post-meeting press conference.

Certainly, the Federal Reserve’s recent announcement to slow down its balance sheet reduction set the stage for Bitcoin’s superb recovery. Investors breathed a collective sigh of relief as the central bank signaled a more accommodative monetary policy stance, alleviating fears of excessive tightening.
