Over the weekend, World Liberty Finance (WLFI) burned 175 million WLFI tokens worth about $26.7 million, aiming to reduce supply and strengthen its ecosystem. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin, another Trump-linked company, acquired 1,414 BTC valued at $163 million, increasing total holdings to 3,865 BTC (around $445 million). These moves appear to have reignited speculative interest in Trump-related tokens.

Analysts expect Bitcoin to stay between $113,000 and $115,000 before the Fed announcement. If the Fed confirms a rate cut, BTC could rise toward $120,000 in early November. If the central bank signals caution, a temporary dip toward $107,000 is possible.
The next two days may define the market’s short-term direction and highlight the best opportunities to buy ahead of the FOMC decision.
Ethereum Price Holding Above $4000 Getting Ready To Send?
Ethereum Price successfully reclaimed $4000 two days ago. That is not a very long time, but it is a good start. Tomorrow, the Fed will announce its interest rate decision, which usually causes volatility. Polymarket participants are 98% sure that we will see a 25bps cut. Other analysts say that economic data allows for a 50bps cut, which could send prices much higher than a 25bps cut. But history shows that Polymarket predictions often come true.

Many are considering the rate cut to be already priced in. And what experts are actually looking at is the end of QT and the tone of the announcement. These two factors will give away what the next few months could look like for crypto. If things look bullish,

BTC USD Price Braces For FOMC: Polymarket Says Cut, Will Powell Deliver?
In the next 48 hours or so, there will be two major market-moving events. The Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell will announce new interest rates tomorrow, and US President Donald Trump will meet with Premier Xi Jinping the day after. Regardless of the outcome, the BTC USD price will move.
So far, there are hints of strength. Even though Bitcoin bulls should build on the series of higher highs posted over the weekend, what’s crucial for structure traders is whether the digital gold will float above $110,000.
Presently, the BTC USD price is hovering around $114,000 and $115,000, up +6% in the past week. Although stable, the sharp recovery from October 23 could be the foundation for even more gains.
