Bitcoin held $76k after the Fed hike, but don't call it resilience. Call it a standoff.

Futures sellers dumped $82M in BTC perps post-announcement. Spot buyers absorbed $15.5M. One side is wrong.

The market priced in today's 25bp hike. It's ignoring 16 of 18 Fed officials see another one this year. Perps trade the next move; spot trades the last.

Our read: spot is providing exit liquidity. The entire hold rests on the 50-period EMA at $76,353. Lose that, sellers take control.
