Bitcoin BTC$83,765.41 staged a modest rebound in morning US hours Friday after a 10% selloff overnight as the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December jumped sharply following dovish remarks from New York Fed President John Williams.

“I still see room for a further adjustment in the near term to the target range for the federal-funds rate to move the stance of policy closer to the range of neutral,” Williams told the WSJ. “Looking ahead, it is imperative to restore inflation to our 2% longer-run goal on a sustained basis. It is equally important to do so without creating undue risks to our maximum employment goal.”

Williams’ comments stand in stark contrast to those of leading Fed hawk, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, who yesterday more or less brushed off any labor market worries, instead choosing to focus on inflation and what she believes is a bubbly stock market.

Williams comments had an immediate effect upon hitting the tape, sending the price of bitcoin from about $81,000 to back above $84,000. It’s trading at $83,500 at press time, still down 9.5% over the past 24 hours. Nasdaq 100 futures also moved to a 0.35% gain versus about flat prior to the remarks.

Odds for a 25 basis point rate cut at the Fed’s December meeting spiked to 70%, up sharply from just 39% a day ago, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
