After the rate hike is implemented, $BTC , gold, and oil begin to move in three completely different market patterns.
The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points this time, bringing the rate to 3.75%–4.00%, while also signaling that further hikes are still possible.
BTC is currently hovering around $76,000. It once surged to above $82,000 in early September, but has now pulled back noticeably. With higher interest rates and a decline in risk appetite, BTC still faces considerable short-term pressure. Whether the $75,000 area can hold is worth close watching.
Gold is also being pressured by interest rates and the US dollar. It is currently trading sideways around $4,200, but central bank gold purchases and geopolitical developments still provide support, making the battle between bulls and bears especially clear.
Oil, however, follows a different logic. Brent crude is still around $108. Supply disruptions and the situation in the Middle East keep oil prices supported.
The three markets are facing different drivers right now: BTC is driven by liquidity and risk appetite, gold by real interest rates, and oil by supply and geopolitical risk. If BTC continues to face pressure in the short term, it is more important to look for support and potential absorption at lower levels than to chase a rally from higher prices.
