Atlanta Federal Reserve President Predicts Two Interest Rate Cuts in 2025
In a recent turn of events, Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic hinted at the Fed’s potential decisions on interest rates. According to the Federal Reserve President, the central bank may reduce interest rates twice in 2025. However, he expresses considerable uncertainty about the impact of President Donald Trump’s trade and migration policies.
Atlanta Federal Reserve President Comments on Interest Rate Cuts
According to a recent Reuters report, Raphael Bostic, the President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, stated that the Fed will lower interest rates twice this year. However, adding uncertainty surrounding the expectations, he highlighted other major factors that could influence the Fed’s decision.
“While that’s my baseline expectation, there’s a lot that is going to happen that could influence that really in both directions,” posited Bostic. Further, citing potential changes in trade, immigration, energy, and fiscal policies, he added, “Right now, there is a lot of uncertainty about where some important factors are going to land.” Concluding his view, he added that his current outlook may likely change after six months.
Fed President’s View on Strong US Economy
Moreover, in an essay today, the Atlanta Federal Reserve President wrote about the central bank’s solid monetary policy and the country’s strong economy. According to Bostic, the current monetary policy is well-positioned.
Though he believes the US economy is strong, he doesn’t see the factors as a reason to relax. His statement highlights the uncertainty surrounding the new Trump administration’s policies and moves. His concerns suggest that heightened policy uncertainty could impact the labor market and inflation.
Federal Reserve’s Rate Cut and Jerome Powell’s Hawkish Stance
Following the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting at the end of January 2025, Chair Jerome Powell announced the bank’s decision to hold the interest rate unchanged at the 4.25%-4.5% level. The development initially sent the crypto market into a slump, but it has since staged a gradual recovery.
Later, on February 12, at his semi-annual monetary report, Powell shared a hawkish approach to interest cuts. He stated that the Fed sees no urgency in altering its policy as the economy remains strong. He added that the policy stance is “less restrictive” than before.
Inflation Deemed the Biggest Risk
The Atlanta Federal Reserve President considers inflation the biggest risk, despite its recent decline. With the risks to the Fed’s dual mandate now more balanced, he is increasingly focused on achieving 2% inflation without compromising labor market gains. Bostic stated,
I still think the biggest risk is inflation. As inflation has come way down, the risks to the mandates have come more into balance and so I’m more sensitive now to the possibility that we could get inflation at 2% without seeing a lot of damage in labor markets.
Nonetheless, the Federal Reserve’s next move remains unclear. At the same time, it remains uncertain how it will impact the crypto market. However, if the Fed maintains its hawkish stance, it could potentially trigger a bearish sentiment.

The Sui token is currently making significant rebound, outperforming top cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. While these assets are exhibiting modest gains in line with the broader market trend, the Sui price is making impressive strides, surging over 7% in a single day. This significant uptick has sparked optimism, with market analysts and experts remaining bullish on the altcoin’s potential to reach new all-time highs.
Sui Price Breaks Past Crucial Resistance, Eyes $8
Notably, Sui’s current bullish trend significantly influences traders and analysts. While traders demonstrate this optimistic view via increasing market activity, analysts express their positive predictions. For instance, market expert CryptoBullet forecasted the Sui price’s surge to a new all time-high of $8.9 in an X post.
In a one-day chart, CryptoBullet highlighted SUI’s prevailing consolidation below 0.618 Fibonacci level. Significantly, SUI has touched twice the same price level within months. Driven by past trends, CryptoBullet remains confident that the Sui price could hit new ATH breaking past this consolidation.
Increasing Daily Active Addresses: How It Impacts Token Price?
According to investor Momin, SUI looks primed for higher highs triggered by increasing daily active addresses. Reportedly, the daily active wallets hit a record high of 1.2 million, paving the way for a massive breakout in the Sui price. Acknowledging the platform’s growth, the trader wrote, “Sui Network is undeniably one of the fastest-growing chains fundamentally!”
Another trader Giannis Andreou underscored the substantial surge in Sui’s daily active wallets. Currently marked at 1,253,935, the daily active addresses increased by a staggering 135.89% over the last seven days.
Meanwhile, Quinten Francois, a prominent crypto voice on X, wrote, “SUI active addresses are exploding.” The substantial surge in Sui’s price, coupled with a growing user base, has garnered significant attention, especially considering the token’s recent 36% downturn.
Sui Price Regains Positive Momentum: Will It Sustain?
At press time, Sui is trading at $3.55, marking a significant increase of 7.9% over the last seven days. However, over the last week and month, the token has seen massive declines of 4.3% and 24.3%, respectively.
Celebrating SUI’s current positive track, traders are actively engaging in market activity. The token’s 24-hour trading has seen a notable uptick of 15.44%, reaching $1.03 billion. Furthermore, SUI has achieved a milestone of over 8.5 billion total transactions, marking a notable 10.37% increase over the past 30 days. With a market cap of $10.67 billion, Sui has secured 12th spot on CoinMarketCap.
Although analysts see a massive surge ahead, it needs to be seen if SUI will sustain the current momentum and gain new highs.

The latest Dogecoin whale data rattled the crypto market on Friday, flagging massive accumulations amid the meme coin’s recent price dip. Renowned market analyst Ali Martinez revealed that whales bought a whopping 110 million DOGE tokens in the last 48 hours. As a response, market participants eagerly await a bullish price breakout ahead, with top analysts further projecting optimism over future price movements due to strong market technicals.
Dogecoin Whales Scoop Up Heavily Near $0.25 Price Level
In an X post shared by analyst Ali Martinez on February 21, it can be seen that Dogecoin whales bought 110 million tokens in the past two days. These accumulations occurred as the meme coin hovered around the $0.25 price level.
In turn, this mark remains extensively gauged by market participants as it could carve out a vital support level ahead. Another report by CoinGape previously revealed that DOGE whales did not sell massive amounts when the coin moved around $0.25. The upshot remains that investors eye considerable gains for the dog-themed meme coin ahead as whale data reflects strong market support.
Why Are Whales Accumulating?
Meanwhile, the current hot buzz for the dog-themed meme coin remains rising odds of an ETF approval. CoinGape reported last week that the U.S. SEC acknowledged Grayscale’s 19-b filing for Dogecoin ETF. This news appears to have substantially uplifted whale sentiment for the asset, given that an approval ahead could provide significant money influx to the token and fuel a price upswing.
However, Dogecoin price tanked nearly 6% over the week, which appears to have ushered in a ‘buy-the-dip’ sentiment among whales amid the ETF advancements.
Is DOGE Price Breakout On The Horizon? Top Analysts Bullish
DOGE price has mainly shown signs of consolidation in recent days, trading up nearly 1% intraday to $0.2564. The meme coin hit a bottom and peak of $0.2505 and $0.2576 in the past 24 hours. Notably, it’s worth mentioning that the coin’s broader time frame volatility is primarily attributable to the crypto market’s turbulent trend.
However, market analysts have projected a bullish outlook ahead, sparking market optimism in tandem with rising Dogecoin whale buying. Analyst ‘Trader Tardigrade’ recently took to X, revealing that the coin’s price chart shows a ‘symmetrical triangle’ pattern. This metric indicates that the token is consolidating whilst a breakout awaits.
Given the massive whale buying, the chances of the analyst’s projection getting true gained substantial weight. Also, another renowned trader, ‘Altcoin Scholar,’ revealed on X that the $0.22 price level remains a strong support zone for the meme coin. A sustained break above this level solidifies the chances of further gains.
