Citi sees no Fed rate cuts until June 2027, crypto in trouble?

Citi reportedly expects the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged until June 2027, a more hawkish outlook that could extend pressure on risk assets. Higher-for-longer rates would likely reduce liquidity and investor appetite for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, creating a challenging near-term environment. However, the outlook is a forecast rather than a confirmed policy path, and Bitcoin’s performance will also depend on inflation, economic data, ETF flows, and broader market sentiment.
