🚨 FED HOLDS RATES — BUT TWO OFFICIALS WANTED A HIKE!

🏦 FOMC | October 28, 2026

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.75–4.00%, but the decision was not unanimous.
📊 THE KEY NUMBERS
✅ Rate: 3.75–4.00%
✅ Vote: 10–2
⚠️ Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack supported a 25-basis-point hike.
🔍 WHY BITCOIN INVESTORS SHOULD CARE

The Fed described US economic growth as strong, while inflation remains elevated.

Chair Kevin Warsh emphasized the need for more economic data before determining the next policy move.
Bitcoin initially showed resilience, trading around $81,000 after the announcement. But the Fed pause does not guarantee easier financial conditions.

⚡ THREE SIGNALS TO WATCH
• December rate expectations
• US dollar and Treasury yields
• Bitcoin liquidity and sustained price momentum

💡 THE BIGGER PICTURE
The next challenge for crypto may not be the October decision itself, but how markets reprice the possibility of another rate hike.
