Bitcoin price has plummeted 50% recently. Rick Edelman explains the reasons behind this crash and potential rebound catalysts. Meanwhile, as the Middle East conflict enters its third week, global stock markets decline amid uncertainty, oil prices approach $100 per barrel, and global economic growth slows.

Fed Decision Tonight: Don't Make Rash Moves, Focus on These Two Key Points! There's really no need to panic about this March Fed meeting - no rate hike, no rate cut, it's already set in stone. The 2 AM announcement is just going through the motions. There are only two things that will actually determine price movements: 1. Rate Cut Expectations Dot Plot The market is waiting for 1 rate cut this year. Once they change it directly to 0 cuts, risk assets like US stocks and BTC will likely get hammered. 2. Powell's Tone and Attitude Saying "higher rates will be maintained longer" = bearish, pouring cold water; Saying "we'll decide based on the data" = leaving room, slightly bullish. The market has already prepared for a hawkish lean in advance. As long as it's not extremely hawkish, it's basically bad news already priced in, and could actually bounce back easily. Before the results come out, don't go all-in and don't short recklessly either. Wait for the signal to land before making your move.
