What will happen to BTC, the IT sector, and Gold if the Fed raises rates?
Tightening monetary policy (Rate Hike) is a direct signal to the market: “free money is over.” When the regulator raises rates, capital quickly flows from riskier assets into risk-free yields (U.S. Treasuries).
Let’s break down who will be hit the hardest:
1️⃣ Bitcoin (BTC) — Maximum-risk zone 📉
Cryptocurrency is most sensitive to a squeeze in global liquidity.
Effect: a drop in value, cascading liquidations of long positions (Longs) in futures, and capital moving into dollar cash. In this kind of scenario, altcoins suffer twice as much.
2️⃣ Technology stocks (NASDAQ) — Under pressure 📊
The valuation of the IT sector is based on expectations of high future earnings.#FedRateWatch
