Despite hopes for an altcoin resurgence, the continued dominance of Bitcoin amidst global trade tensions has cast a shadow over the market. The Federal Reserve’s announcement of further quantitative tightening (QT) has dashed expectations of a near-future rally. While the Fed kept interest rates unchanged at 4.25-4.5%, they signaled continued reduction in their holdings of Treasury securities, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities. 2025 altseason predictions remain uncertain, with experts citing geopolitical uncertainty as a key driver for institutional investor shifts towards gold and Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s dominance has reached new highs, surpassing 65% on Wednesday, adding to the ongoing concerns among investors.
