比特幣（BTC）價格在聯準會利率決定前保持穩定；宏觀順風不變

市場普遍預期聯準會將基準利率下修25個基點，至4.25%-4.5%區間，累計降息100個基點

The Federal Reserve is set to announce its latest interest rate decision on Wednesday, with markets largely expecting a 25 basis point cut.

聯準會將於週三公佈最新利率決定，市場普遍預期降息 25 個基點。

This would bring the central bank’s benchmark rate to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, marking a cumulative 100 bps reduction since September.

這將使央行基準利率降至4.25%-4.5%的區間，自9月以來累計下調100個基點。

While a rate cut is generally considered bullish for risk assets like Bitcoin, traders are keeping a close eye on the Fed's forward guidance, which may signal a slowdown in rate cuts next year.

雖然降息通常被認為對比特幣等風險資產有利，但交​​易者正在密切關注聯準會的前瞻性指引，這可能預示著明年降息的步伐將會放緩。

This could temper expectations for an aggressive easing cycle and might lead to a rally in Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar.

這可能會削弱對激進寬鬆週期的預期，並可能導緻美國國債殖利率和美元上漲。

The Fed's decision and Chair Jerome Powell's press conference are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 18.

聯準會的決定和主席鮑威爾的新聞發布會定於美國東部時間 12 月 18 日下午 2:00 舉行。

The central bank's rate projections, known as the "dot plot," will also be unveiled at this time.

央行的利率預測（稱為「點圖」）也將在此時公佈。

The Fed is widely expected to lower its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday, bringing it to a range of 4.25%-4.5%.

市場普遍預期聯準會將在周三將基準利率下調25個基點，至4.25%-4.5%的區間。

This would mark a cumulative 100 bps cut since September, in a bid to tame inflation and bolster the U.S. economy.

這將標誌著自 9 月以來累積降息 100 個基點，以抑制通膨並提振美國經濟。

The decision, set to be announced at 2:00 p.m. ET, will be followed by a press conference with Chair Jerome Powell.

該決定將於美國東部時間下午 2:00 宣布，隨後將由主席 Jerome Powell 召開新聞發布會。

Traders will be parsing the central bank’s statement, Powell's remarks and the latest "dot plot" of rate projections for clues on the Fed's future path.

交易員將解析聯準會的聲明、鮑威爾的言論以及最新的利率預測“點陣圖”，以尋找有關聯準會未來路徑的線索。

這可能會削弱對激進寬鬆週期的預期，並可能導緻美國國債殖利率和美元上漲。

Rising yields present an alternative to speculative bets, which may pose a short-term challenge for Bitcoin and other risk assets.

收益率上升為投機性賭注提供了另一種選擇，這可能對比特幣和其他風險資產構成短期挑戰。

However, on a broader scale, BTC's sustained gains in recent weeks are largely attributed to the Fed's easing stance and an overall shift in risk appetite.

然而，從更廣泛的範圍來看，比特幣最近幾週的持續上漲很大程度上歸因於聯準會的寬鬆立場和風險偏好的整體轉變。

This bodes well for the crypto king in the long run, despite any short-term hiccups.

儘管短期內會出現一些問題，但從長遠來看，這對加密貨幣之王來說是個好兆頭。
