BITCOIN NOW $77,252 - HOLDING AFTER THE FED HIKE
Live Price 18/09/2026:
BTC: $77,252.98 on Binance
Open: $76,356.28 / High: $77,597.83 / Low: $76,000
Change today: +$896.69 (+1.17%)
CoinDesk shows $77,848.66 on Binance at the same time
1 month: +23.11% / 5 days: -0.82%
What’s happening:
- The FED raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4% yesterday, unanimous vote. First hike since 2023 and the market is already pricing in another one in December with a 41% chance
- BTC dropped to $75,400 on the announcement and recovered to $77.2k today, tracking Nasdaq +0.8% and tech
- August CPI came in at 3.4% year-over-year versus the FED’s 2% target, which is why the tightening
- September is historically the worst month, -3% on average since 2013, but August closed at +25%, the best month since November 2024
What I see here:
BTC is consolidating healthily above $76k. As long as $76k holds, the bullish structure since $62k from August remains intact. A break above $77,597 opens $78.9k and $81.9k. Losing $76k brings $75k and then $72k as support.
Institutional flow is still positive via ETFs, even with macro volatility. This is the decision point of Rektember.
Are you long at these $77k, or waiting for $76k again?
