Crypto Market Slips After US Federal Reserve Rate Cut, Here’s What Experts Say

The broader crypto market edged lower on October 30, 2025 in the wake of the US Federal Reserve’s rate cut, with major tokens, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum continuing their recent decline after a steady start in the week, amid cautious investor sentiment. The global crypto market capitalisation also dipped to around $3.75 trillion, as the broader market sentiment remained cautious with markets showing limited momentum.

Crypto Market Dips After US Federal Reserve Rate

At the time of writing, Bitcoin slipped by 2.20 per cent to $110,296.88, while Ethereum fell 2.69 per cent to around $3,922. Other major altcoins, including XRP declined 2.30 per cent to $2.57, Solana dipped 0.50 per cent to $194.67, and BNB eased 0.54 per cent to $1,114.37, reflecting a broadly muted trend across the market.

Experts Weigh In on Bitcoin’s Correction and Market Outlook

The recent decline in crypto market has prompted mixed reactions from market experts, with some seeing it as part of a broader adjustment to the Fed policy.

Riya Sehgal, research analyst at Delta Exchange, said Bitcoin’s recent dip to around $109,000 followed the Federal Reserve’s 25 basis point (bps) rate cut and its decision to end quantitative tightening, both largely anticipated by the market. She added: “Bitcoin remains in a corrective phase after facing resistance near $115,000, with near-term support around the $107,500–108,000 range. If liquidity improves and sentiment stabilises, Bitcoin and major altcoins could regain momentum toward the end of the year, supported by renewed institutional participation.”

Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, said the crypto market traded largely sideways after the Federal Reserve’s 25 bps rate cut, a move widely anticipated by investors. He said the expected start of quantitative easing in December could improve liquidity and support risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies.

“With Bitcoin hovering near $111,000, a breakout above $113,500 could confirm the next leg higher, while $109,500 remains a strong support zone,” he said.

Sumit Gupta, co-founder of CoinDCX, said the recent dip in Bitcoin reflects a short-term market recalibration rather than a structural pullback. “While some consolidation around the $105,000-107,000 range is possible, the broader setup remains strong. Institutional participation is deepening, mainstream adoption is accelerating, and Bitcoin’s role as a resilient store of value continues to strengthen with each cycle,” he said.
