🚨 FED UPDATE RATE DECISION IS OUT, PRESS CONFERENCE STILL PENDING 🚨
The Federal Reserve has raised rates by 25 bps, taking the target range from 3.50–3.75% → 3.75–4.00%. The decision was unanimous.
This is not the end of today's event. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference starts at 2:30 PM ET / 18:30 GMT (UTC). The official Fed calendar confirms the press conference follows the 2:00 PM policy release.
📊 What came with the decision
Dot Plot: 16 of 18 policymakers currently expect at least one more 25 bps hike before the end of 2026. The projections put the policy rate around 4.00–4.25% by year-end, remaining around that level at the end of 2027.
Inflation: 2026 PCE inflation projection was raised to 3.7% from 3.6%. The Fed's projections don't show inflation returning to the 2% target until 2029.
Growth: GDP projection increased slightly from 2.2% → 2.3%.
Unemployment: projection improved from 4.3% → 4.1%.
So the first release is hawkish: rate hike + higher inflation projection + another hike still indicated.
But the big second reaction can still come during the press conference. The important questions are whether Warsh suggests today's hike is the start of further tightening, what data would trigger another hike, and how concerned the Fed is about persistent inflation.
🚨$BTC UPDATE🚨
BTC is around $76.2K.
The first reaction was Sudden pump as already predicted
Major resistance: $76.5K–$76.8K
Next resistance: $77.2K
Support: $75.3K
Major intraday support: $74.95K
The liquidation map also shows meaningful liquidity above the current price, so a press-conference spike toward $76.6–77K is completely possible before the next directional move.
I have already told to short at 76.6k
