The Fed Restarts Rate Hikes: The US Dollar Strengthens, Stocks and Bonds Face Pressure, Crypto Keeps Rising—What Else Is the Market Worried About?
At 2:00 a.m. on September 17, Beijing time, the Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point rate hike, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%, the first hike since 2023. The decision was passed unanimously, and the latest projections also point to the possibility of further hikes within the year. At 2:30 a.m., Chairman Wosch emphasized at the press conference that inflation remains persistently high. Summer data did not show any clear improvement in underlying inflation trends, and the Federal Reserve will continue to focus on controlling inflation. Two sets of messages answered two questions: how much this time, and whether there will be more hikes next. After the 25-basis-point move takes effect, the market still needs to assess the future level of interest rates and how long they will remain elevated.
Amid the ebb and flow of worldly affairs, gains and losses each have their own karmic connection. There’s no need to cling to every rise and fall of the moment—let go of inner restlessness and delusions. Hold a peace that is calm and unhurried; let go of one more degree of fixation and striving. May our hearts be steady, meet whatever comes with ease, and let all things arrive slowly, one by one. We don’t ask for anything grand and tumultuous—only for year after year of good fortune, safety, and everything going smoothly.

One autumn rain brings a chill, and time moves hurriedly. Next Friday is the Mid-Autumn Festival already. With some hesitation, I’ll ask: how much money have you saved this year? It’s still three or four months until 2027—have you met your goal?
$BTC is trading around $75.7K–$75.9K after coming under renewed selling pressure. The failed Senate vote on the CLARITY Act has added to the uncertainty.
Now the focus is on the Federal Reserve.
📌 Markets are pricing roughly a 90%+ chance of a 25 bps hike, which would take rates to 3.75%–4.00%.
But the bigger catalyst may be Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s guidance on future hikes.
⚠️ A hawkish outlook could keep pressure on BTC, while a less-hawkish message could shift attention toward a weaker dollar.
$BTC is at a critical decision point. 👀
What will matter more: the rate hike or Warsh’s guidance?
