The upcoming FOMC meeting is the most anticipated event this week, set to determine the financial market’s next direction. A rate cut of 25 bps will bring extra liquidity to the market, benefiting risk assets like crypto. However, heavy cuts (above 50 bps) often precede recession, which isn’t good.
With uncertainty brewing and opinions divided over the magnitude of the upcoming rate cut, traders are bracing for volatility. A handful have closed open positions, with savvy investors shifting from Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) to IntelMarkets (INTL), a more safer and promising alternative.
IntelMarkets (INTL): A New and Promising ICO
IntelMarkets (INTL), a top ICO, attracts the attention of Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) investors. Its novelty as an AI-powered trading platform is at the heart of its appeal, poised to reshape the wider trading scene. Similarly, it provides a cushion against market shocks while promising huge growth prospects.
The global crypto trading market, expected to reach $347 billion by 2030, is one of the fastest-growing. Gearing up to reshape this landscape with artificial intelligence is INTL, offering the first AI-based blockchain. Some of the real-world applications of AI in trading will include advanced arbitrage, auto-investment strategies and AI-based cost averaging.
Its robust team, which includes experts from MIT, OpenAI and Renaissance Technologies, contributes to its appeal. The presale has been selling out fast despite recently going live. Over $280,000 has been raised in the first stage of the ICO at $0.009, besides the $500,000 from Fortune 500 investors. As it sails toward adoption, the presale offers an exciting opportunity to become a part of the future of crypto trading.
Cardano (ADA): Further Dump or a Breakout
Cardano (ADA), a leading DeFi protocol, assists with the creation of decentralized applications. It is quickly becoming a popular destination among projects and developers, contributing to the rising demand for the ADA token.
However, given market uncertainty, the Cardano price is downward. On the weekly charts, it tumbled 2%, losing the $0.35 support. Hovering around $0.33, top analysts predict further dumps, placing it on the list of altcoins to watch.
At the same time, a bullish Cardano price prediction points at a breakout, especially if the Fed rate cut is received well by the crypto industry. It is tipped to revisit the $0.4 zone, keeping it on investors’ radars.
Polkadot (DOT): 25 bps Rate Cut Will Be Bullish
Polkadot (DOT) is an open-source sharded multichain protocol that facilitates cross-chain transfer of data and assets. Allowing interoperability, DOT plays a key role in the crypto space, making it a top crypto to invest in.
But with current market conditions, the bulls seem to be running out of steam. The Polkadot coin is in the red, retailing at $4.17 after plummeting from a month high of $5. Amid fear of further downswings, investors have been diversifying, opting for new ICOs and emerging cryptocurrencies.
On the other hand, a 25 bps rate cut by the Feds will be bullish for the crypto space, including the Polkadot crypto. First, a breakout above $5; next, a potential rally past $6.5 before the month’s end.
Conclusion
The magnitude of the Fed rate cut will determine the market’s next move, with uncertainty sparking a shift in sentiment away from Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT). Instead, savvy investors have been doubling down on IntelMarkets (INTL). Mere participation in the ICO promises an estimated 11x gain at the launch date and more after listing.
