Macro and Crypto Market Forecast: Fed Rate Decision Looms, Crypto Market Holds Its Breath
In July 2026, the crypto market is seeking balance between macro pressure and ETF fund flows. With the Fed rate decision nearing at the end of July, any hints in Powell’s remarks about the pace of balance-sheet reduction will directly affect crypto market sentiment, with BTC $63,000 as a key support level.
1. Macro Environment: The Fed’s balance-sheet reduction process continues, and expectations of tighter liquidity weigh on the crypto market.
With the Fed rate decision nearing at the end of July, the market expects rates to remain unchanged, but any hints in Powell’s remarks about the pace of balance-sheet reduction will directly affect crypto market sentiment. The current CME FedWatch Tool shows a probability of about 45% for a 25bp rate cut in September.
2. Crypto Market Forecast
BTC: Key support $63,000 (200-day moving average). If it breaks below or tests $58,000; resistance at $68,000 (psychological level).
ETH: Support $1,700, resistance $2,000, tracking BTC’s movement.
3. The macroeconomic factors significantly impact the crypto market, with high policy uncertainty. Investors should control position size and make decisions only after carefully assessing risk tolerance.
Institutional Viewpoints
Goldman Sachs predicts a year-end target price for Bitcoin of $95,000, citing continued net ETF inflows, the halving effect taking hold, and macro liquidity loosening. Citibank maintains a neutral rating on BTC, believing $63,000 is a key support level.
JPMorgan Chase warns that if the Fed keeps a hawkish stance, BTC could fall toward $50,000.
Institutional Strategies
Goldman Sachs: Year-end BTC target price $95,000, maintaining a buy-more rating. Reasons: ongoing net ETF inflows, the emergence of the halving supply shock, and macro liquidity loosening.
Citibank: Neutral rating; $63,000 is a key support level—if it breaks below or tests $50,000.
JPMorgan Chase: Cautious, warning that a hawkish Fed stance will drive BTC below $50,000.
Galaxy Digital: Bullish, forecasting that in 2027 BTC will break through $150,000, and AI-compute related tokens will benefit.

JPMorgan warns that if the Fed maintains a hawkish stance, BTC could dip to $50,000.
