BTC/USD Reacts to FOMC No-Cut Decision: Is Bitcoin Entering Distribution Until June?

Bitcoin and crypto prices reacted to the FOMC no-rate-cut decision. Will BTCUSDT break $100,000 or distribute until June? BTC Bull presale goes viral, raises over $5.4 million.

On May 7, 2025, the Federal Reserve was widely expected to maintain its benchmark interest rates at 4.25%–4.5%. Any deviation from this range would have triggered huge market swings, sparking either a strong rally or a sharp sell-off. A rate hike would have been disastrous for equities and crypto markets, particularly Bitcoin and some of the best cryptos to consider buying in May 2025.

Federal Reserve and FOMC Keep Rates Unchanged

As anticipated, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced that benchmark rates would remain unchanged.

The expected volatility failed to materialize. BTCUSDT prices moved sideways, even selling off slightly toward the end of the New York session.

Before the rate announcement, the Bitcoin price was stable but traded sideways through the European and early New York sessions. No major price movements were recorded within the two hours following the FOMC’s decision.

Meanwhile, the Powell press conference neither reassured nor alarmed investors. As a result, prices remained in a tight range before surging earlier today.

From a technical perspective, the leg up during the Asian session confirms the bull run that began in late April. This rally could pave the way for Bitcoin to close above $100,000 and potentially retest its all-time high of $110,000, set in January 2025. Key support levels are now around $96,500–$97,000.

Fundamentally, the expansion may slow unless new catalysts emerge. Although confidence is high now that prices are steadily rising, Powell and the FOMC adopted a cautious tone, emphasizing a data-dependent approach despite tariff-related uncertainties. They won’t intervene and steady the market in a no-deal tariff scenario.

However, markets have increased the probability of a rate cut in July, which may explain today’s price expansion.

Will Bitcoin Enter a Distribution Phase Until June?

While prices may rise in the short term, Bitcoin could enter a distribution phase. The duration and range of this phase remain uncertain.

In an email to 99Bitcoins, Dr. Sean Dawson, Head of Research at Derive.xyz, said the market predicts a 28% chance of BTC rising above $100,000 and an 18% chance of it dropping below $84,000.

In the longer term, there’s only an added 10% chance of BTC reaching over $160,000 and a 17% chance of it falling below $65,000 by year-end.

In light of this price action, Dawson added that “options traders are buying cheap leverage for BTC, with significant activity in out-of-the-money calls at $110,000 and $115,000 strikes.”

BTC Bull Token Presale: Over $5.4 Million Raised

As Bitcoin hovers near $100,000, retail investors are pouring into the BTC Bull presale.

The project is considered one of the hottest presales of 2025. As of May 8, it had raised over $5.4 million.

BTC Bull is designed to reward token holders based on BTCUSDT performance.

When Bitcoin reaches $150,000, BTCBULL holders will receive their first BTC airdrops. Additional airdrops will be distributed for every $50,000 increase in Bitcoin’s price, up to $1 million.

BTCBULL is also deflationary. The first batch of tokens will be burned once the Bitcoin price reaches $125,000. There will be more burns after every $25,000.

Sustained demand could drive BTCBULL prices higher.
