Crypto News Today: BTC Loops Back To $90k, ETH Retests $3.2k Support
Expectations within the crypto community were high when the news broke that the Fed (Federal Reserve) again cut interest rates by 25 bps, bringing the federal fund rate to its lowest level in more than three years, but today, the enthusiasm has died down a bit as the broader crypto market failed to get back its momentum.
With the Fed announcing the rate cut,

briefly surged above $94,000, but since then, it has declined by 2.62% and is currently trading at
. The OG coin, despite having a market cap of $1.85 trillion, has been moving sideways because of a weakening of the broader market.
While the rate cut happened, a cautious tone from the Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, dampened any hopes for an aggressive upcycle that usually happens after a rate cut. Powell basically said that there are no free lunches and that inflation could still rise and jobs could still take a hit, as he said, there is “no risk-free path for policy.”
Market hawks are now factoring in only one rate cut for next year.

Meanwhile, the Fed is about to start buying $40 billion worth of short-term government bonds to push extra cash into the system in an effort to calm the markets and give risky assets like crypto a bit of a leg up. Another reason why BTC is sliding today is AI tech stocks.

ETH showed better strength compared to BTC, but has still pulled back along with the broader market. And that is despite ETH ETFs recording an inflow of $57.6 million yesterday, with BlackRock buying $56.5 million in ETH.

For now, ETH is sitting at a tricky spot. If sellers push the price below the $ 2,900-$ 3,000 zone, the altcoin king could face further bearish pressure, with its price declining towards support at $2,500 and then $2,300. On the flipside, there is still a chance it can flip the script and bounce back, since the lower support channels support it.
$ETH is trying to break above a crucial resistance level.
A reclaim of the $3,300-$3,400 level will push Ethereum towards the $3,700 level.

On the four-hour chart, ETH has declined to retest its 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) after breaching its 20-day EMA and is now at a crossroads. If ETH can climb back into the $3,300–$3,400 range, that would flip the momentum bullish and set the stage for bigger gains. In fact, breaking through mid-channel resistance could open the door to a run toward $4,000.
