Ahead of the Federal Reserve's October 28 meeting, market expectations for an immediate rate hike fell below 20%, influenced by weak U.S. housing data and persistent inflation. Housing indicators showed a slowdown with homebuilder confidence at its lowest since 2012 and declines in housing starts and pending sales. Meanwhile, inflation remained firm, with the Consumer Price Index rising 0.6% month-over-month and 3.7% year-over-year. This mixed data creates uncertainty for the Fed's decision, with markets favoring a hold in October but expecting a possible hike in December. Bitcoin's price remains sensitive to these rate expectations, reflecting the broader market's reaction to Fed signals.
Bitcoin and U.S. housing data provide context for market conditions.
