A 59% chance of a Fed rate hike was enough to push Bitcoin down to $76,898 in just 12 hours.
That is the kind of macro shock that catches traders buying the dip too early. When rate expectations change this quickly, leverage can turn a normal pullback into a much deeper liquidation cascade across $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL .
Kevin Warsh’s comments appear to have spooked risk markets, while prediction markets now price a 59% probability of a Fed hike on September 16. Higher rates usually pressure speculative assets because capital becomes more expensive and investors demand stronger returns before taking risk.
The warning is simple: a chart can look oversold while macro conditions are still deteriorating. If rate expectations keep rising, Bitcoin may struggle to reclaim lost levels, and chasing a bounce could leave traders trapped.
Do you think $BTC stabilizes here, or is the market underpricing the downside?
