At the upcoming December 10 FOMC meeting of the Federal Reserve, the market widely expects a 25 basis point rate cut, which would adjust the interest rate range to 3.50%—3.75%. The current probability of a rate cut is as high as 87.2%. If the cut occurs as expected, risk assets may get a boost and the crypto market could see a short-term rebound. However, if there is a hawkish surprise, it could dampen capital inflows, especially given Bitcoin’s 20% cumulative decline over the past 90 days.
Driven by policy expectations, market analysis highlights three altcoins that could potentially benefit from a rate cut: FARTCOIN, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Double Zero (2Z).
FARTCOIN performed impressively last week, recording a 32% weekly gain amid a generally weak market, with its current trading range holding around $0.404. The RSI is above the neutral line, indicating buying momentum remains strong. If sentiment further improves, FARTCOIN could break above $0.417 and attempt to reach $0.470. However, if the rate cut fails to spark a market rebound or sentiment weakens, the price could fall below $0.358 and retest the $0.320–$0.280 range.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) also showed resilience, rising about 11% last week. As a major branch asset of the Bitcoin ecosystem, its price is often strongly correlated with BTC, so a policy-driven BTC rebound could directly lift BCH. The Parabolic SAR indicator shows the uptrend remains intact, and if the $593 support range holds, BCH could further rise to $624. However, if profit-taking leads to a break below key support, the price could quickly fall back to $555.
Double Zero (2Z) also recorded a 21% weekly gain as the market heated up, entering the top 100 crypto assets. 2Z is currently trading at $0.1382, near the $0.1433 resistance level. The MACD shows increasing upward momentum, and if a rate cut brings stronger market buying, 2Z could break above resistance and test $0.1581. However, if sentiment weakens, the price could fall back to $0.1296 or even $0.1199.
As the market increasingly bets on a Fed policy shift, short-term capital may accelerate into more volatile altcoins before and after the rate decision, and the above three tokens, benefiting from both technical factors and improving market sentiment, are becoming key assets for traders to watch.

Santiment Alert: BTC profit-loss ratio hits 2.95, the top signal is approaching
Based on Santiment data, Bitcoin’s profit-to-loss trade ratio has reached 2.95:1, nearing the historical alert level of 3.0, which may signal a short-term price top. A high profit-to-loss ratio also reflects optimistic market sentiment, but it can also build up selling pressure. Historical cases show that a profit-to-loss ratio near 3.0 does not necessarily lead to a pullback; the market needs to combine multiple indicators for a comprehensive analysis.
