<p>In the tumultuous ocean of cryptocurrencies, investors are scanning the horizon for the next ripples.

At the top of the list of events to follow is the <strong>highly anticipated Federal Reserve minutes, announced for Wednesday at 10:00 PM EET</strong>.

<p>As a reminder: the Fed, guardian of the American economy, is committed to <strong>maintaining price stability, targeting inflation around 2%</strong>. Its second goal is <strong>full employment</strong>. As long as the job market remains robust, the Fed will continue to prioritize the fight against inflation, its conundrum, in accordance with its mandate.</p> 
<p>In November 2023, the confidence of Jerome Powell, chair of the Fed, was unshakeable: “No rate cuts in sight, period,” he proclaimed. But a month later, the tone changed. At the last press conference, Powell surprised everyone by not only mentioning rate cuts, but also seriously considering their timetable.</p> 
<p>Now, the Fed is preparing for <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-fed-lower-its-rates-bitcoin-btc-ready-to-take-off/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">two rate cuts</a> of 0.25% in 2024, according to officials. Powell, in an unexpectedly accommodating speech, even suggested that <strong>the Fed had reached its rate peak for this cycle</strong>. Markets are now anticipating even more drastic reductions, thus illustrating an unexpected turnaround.</p> 
<h2 id="h-cryptocurrencies-between-volatility-and-opportunity">Cryptocurrencies: Between volatility and opportunity</h2> 
<p>Bitcoin (BTC), <strong>currently at $51,670</strong>, is experiencing a <strong>reduction in volumes, favoring sellers</strong>. The failure to turn the $51,800 resistance into support leads to profit-taking. Altcoins, despite some breakthroughs, do not seem promising.</p> 
<p>In the meantime, <strong>AVAX is facing a significant unlocking of $382 million</strong>, with a price exceeding $40.</p> 
<p>For investors, this situation offers opportunities for speculation on futures contracts. The coming days will hold movements both positive and negative.</p> 
<h2 id="h-expect-movements">Expect movements!</h2> 
<p>The coming week holds key moments for cryptocurrency investors, notes <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/crypto-market-awaits-key-developments-this-week/?utm_source=coingecko&amp;utm_content=coingecko&amp;utm_campaign=coingecko&amp;utm_medium=coingecko&amp;utm_term=coingecko" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CoinTurk</a>. Among the major events are the delisting of certain cryptos (ANT, MULTI, VAI, and XMR) on Binance, the listing of Starknet, and the unlocking of DYDX and AVAX.</p> 
<p>On the economic front, decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Turkish central bank, as well as economic indicators such as unemployment insurance claims and manufacturing and services PMIs, will influence the markets.</p>
