Market expectations for Fed rate cuts are cooling down.

Latest data shows that by the end of 2026, the market expects the Fed to cut rates by a cumulative total of less than 75 basis points—meaning, at most, three 25-basis-point rate cuts. This forecast is much more conservative than the previously optimistic market sentiment.

For Bitcoin, this is not good news. Tighter liquidity expectations often put pressure on risk assets, and the crypto market may need to adapt to this new normal of "money not being so loose" in the short term.

I should have known earlier, interest rate cuts aren't coming so soon, the crypto world is still in a daze.

Oh no, it's time to tighten the belt again. The cooling of the interest rate cut expectations really hits hard. Wasn't it supposed to be a 75 basis point cut? Is this all we're getting now? The crypto world is about to enter a "struggling to hold on" mode again. Whenever liquidity tightens, we know what's coming—it's the old routine again.

That's the reality—without rate cuts, money gets tight.

ngl the recipe's getting way less buttery than we thought... 75bps? that's like ordering a three-course meal and they only bring out the appetizer. liquidity's about to simmer down real quick and btc's gonna feel the heat tbh

Here we go again, the rate cut dream is shattered, Bitcoin is about to take another hit. --- Hmm? Only three times? I thought it would be every month. Looks like I need to adjust my expectations. --- Tightening liquidity, that’s it. This wave is really tough for risk assets. --- What kind of number is 75 basis points? Is the market really sober now or is it about to reverse again? --- Bitcoin: I waited so long just for this? --- Money isn’t as loose anymore, we’ll have to get used to living with it, folks. --- Wow, the optimism went straight from max to reality—this gap is really something. --- Short-term adjustment? Looks more like we’ll have to tough it out for the long haul.
