🔥BREAKING｜The Fed Hikes Rates by 25 bps! Dot Plot Turns Hawkishly Across the Board

Breaking News: On September 17, the Fed announced a 25-basis-point rate hike—its first hike in 2026.

This dot plot signals a major shift to hawkish:
Of the 19 officials, 18 submitted projections; 16 believe that rates will need to keep rising this year.
👉 4 officials forecast a full-year cumulative hike of 75 bps
👉 12 officials forecast a full-year cumulative hike of 50 bps
👉 Only 2 officials think the cumulative hike should be just 25 bps

Compared with the June dot plot, the earlier picture had 8 officials supporting keeping rates unchanged and 1 expecting a rate cut—but now all have moved to zero, with officials largely giving up any hopes of rate cuts.

💡Crypto Market Interpretation:
Rate-hike expectations are rising, liquidity tightens further, and risk assets come under pressure. BTC and altcoins face near-term headwinds, with market logic returning to the Fed policy main storyline.$BTC
