The cryptocurrency market faced a significant downturn on September 22, 2025, with $1.7 billion in assets liquidated within 24 hours. Despite this, optimism is rising as the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in October has increased to 91.9%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Such a move could lower borrowing costs and potentially spark a market rebound. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, is anticipated to spearhead the recovery. CoinCodex forecasts that Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high of $140,802 by December 21, 2025, if the rate cut materializes and market conditions improve.
