CoinWorld News reports that the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75% on April 29, 2026, marking the third consecutive pause in rate hikes. Market attention is focused on Chairman Powell's press conference, where he will deliver his final FOMC speech before his term ends on May 15. The meeting did not release new dot plots or economic forecasts; Powell will discuss inflation, geopolitical uncertainties from the Iran conflict, and the monetary policy path of the new Chairman Kevin Walsh. Analysts note that Powell's tone will be key; a hawkish tone could tighten crypto liquidity, while an unexpectedly dovish stance might serve as a catalyst for risk appetite.
