“The Fed put has also been anticipated by rate markets: in a sense, last week, the Fed was catching up with market expectations,” blockchain analytics firm Nansen principal research analyst Aurelie Barthere wrote in a Sept. 23 report shared with Cointelegraph.Having “skin the game makes sense,” says Barthere


“Keeping crypto allocation or skin in the game makes sense as the Fed has just given more juice to this bull market. But a lot is already in the price of risk assets,” Barthere added.


She explained that Nansen’s “comfortable” strategy is “trimming crypto allocation on rallies,” given the “asymmetry to the downside.”

On Sept. 25, the index, which is a multifactorial measure of crypto market sentiment, climbed to a “greed” score of 59, a 14-point increase since the Fed announced a 50-basis-point rate cut on Sept. 18, when it was at 45 in the “fear” zone.BTC price holds above crucial $60,000 level

The Fed’s decision marked the first rate cut since March 2020, when the Fed reduced rates in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.


Before the announcement, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes argued at Token2049 in Singapore that the Fed rate cut will likely drive a market drop because it will “narrow the interest rate differential between the US dollar and the Japanese yen.”
