Markets Eye Fed Easing as Bitcoin Surges to New Cycle High Above $115,000

Crypto Markets Rise as Bitcoin, Ether Rally Ahead of Fed Decision

October 27, 2025

Digital assets gained on Monday, with Bitcoin and Ether leading a broad crypto market rebound as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement later this week.

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to around $115,200, while Ether (ETH) traded near $4,160, extending weekend gains amid growing confidence that the Fed will deliver another interest rate cut on Wednesday.

Analysts said expectations of monetary easing are driving renewed demand for risk assets, including crypto. “Markets are positioning for a dovish shift from the Fed, which could support liquidity-sensitive assets like Bitcoin,” one strategist said.

Bitcoin’s dominance over the broader crypto market continued to rise, highlighting relative underperformance among altcoins. Still, some tokens bucked the trend — ENA advanced to $0.4986, and ZEC rose to $339.38, outperforming peers.

The rebound follows a volatile October for digital assets, with traders increasingly looking to macro policy cues for direction. A clearer signal from the Fed on rate trajectory could set the tone for crypto markets heading into November.
