Subsequently, the CL (WTI crude oil) contract on the **Hyperliquid** platform (link: https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/NTOD) fell below the $93 mark, currently trading at $92.4.

Analyst: Fed Meeting Expected to be Overshadowed by Middle East Crisis

**March 18** John Tenna, Fixed Income Director at Aptus Capital Advisors, noted Wednesday that the Federal Reserve’s upcoming meeting will be overshadowed by the Middle East conflict and rising oil prices—but the gathering could still determine the market’s next move. A rate cut is no longer on the table, but investors will focus on three key areas: the Fed’s dot plot, officials’ divergence from the median projection, and any hints in Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference about whether policymakers intend to look past price gains tied to commodity supply shocks. After oil prices surged, markets have priced out the two rate cuts previously expected for this year. However, if the conflict resolves quickly, those cut expectations will be swiftly repriced. *Source: FXStreet*

Citi: Lowers BTC and ETH year-end price targets to $112,000 and $3,175, respectively

On March 18, CoinPost reported that amid stalled progress on U.S. cryptocurrency market structure legislation, Citigroup has revised its price forecasts for Bitcoin and Ethereum as follows: Citi cut its 12-month "base case" price target for Bitcoin from $143,000 to $112,000, and reduced its Ethereum target from $4,304 to $3,175. It also released scenario-based predictions: 1. **Bearish Scenario**: In an economic downturn, Bitcoin could drop to $58,000, while Ethereum could fall to $1,198; 2. **Bullish Scenario**: Driven by strong retail demand via channels like ETFs, Bitcoin could rise to $165,000, and Ethereum could hit $4,488. Alex Saunders, head of Citigroup’s research, noted: "While regulatory framework improvements are expected to boost Bitcoin adoption and inflows, the probability of the U.S. passing relevant legislation this year is fading."
