The Fed restarts rate hikes—the script is the same as the 2022 tightening cycle. The FOMC passes the move 12-0 unanimously, raising rates by 25 basis points to the 3% range. The previous pattern was: once the hike is in place, liquidity gets pulled out first; then BTC rebounds—only to keep getting capped just below the previous highs, with each peak lower than the last.

At the current price: BTC is at 76,737, up 1.0% over the past 24 hours. The reference level before the rate decision was 76,617. This line is the pivot between bulls and bears. Holding above it means the rate hike has been digested, and you can continue to hold; if it’s lost and can’t be reclaimed, follow the 2022 script—reduce your position first, then wait to re-enter when the next daily candle closes back above it.
