🔥 FOMC September: The Rate Hike Landed — What’s Next for BTC?
The Fed just delivered a 25 bps rate hike, taking the federal funds target range to 3.75%–4.00%. This was widely anticipated after August core CPI rose 0.3% MoM, which pushed market expectations for a September hike close to 90%.
But the bigger question now is:
👉 Was this a one-off hike, or the beginning of another tightening cycle?
The Fed's latest projections point to one more potential hike in 2026, keeping the market focused on the next FOMC meetings and incoming inflation data.
📊 My Market Watchlist
🟠 BTC:
Higher rates can pressure risk assets through tighter liquidity, but if the hike was already priced in, BTC could react differently after the initial volatility.
➡️ I’m watching BTC price action + volume + USD liquidity before taking a directional position.
📈 Tech Stocks:
Higher rates generally increase the discount rate applied to future earnings, keeping growth/tech stocks sensitive to Fed guidance and Treasury yields.
🥇 Gold:
Gold could remain highly sensitive to real yields, USD strength and inflation expectations. A more hawkish Fed could create short-term pressure, while falling real yields could provide support.
🎯 My Trading Approach
I’m not chasing the first FOMC candle.
Instead, I’m watching for:
• BTC breakout/breakdown confirmation
• Volume confirmation
• Support & resistance reaction
• Fed forward guidance
• Treasury yields & DXY
• Follow-through after the initial volatility
⚠️ No blind long. No blind short. Confirmation first.
What’s your view?
BTC 🟢 Bullish / 🔴 Bearish / 🟡 Neutral?
And do you think the Fed delivers another hike later in 2026?
