๐จ THE FED JUST RAISED RATES AND BITCOIN IS WATCHING ๐บ๐ธโฟ
The Federal Reserve has delivered its first interest rate hike in more than three years.
On September 16, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points, bringing the target range to 3.75%โ4.00%.
But the bigger story may be the dot plot. ๐
๐ 16 of 18 Fed policymakers now see at least one more rate hike before the end of 2026.
That puts another increase firmly on the table but it is not guaranteed. Future decisions will depend on inflation, employment, economic growth, energy prices and other economic developments.
โฟ Bitcoin is now trading around the $76K area, as markets continue digesting the Fed's decision.
Higher interest rates can mean tighter financial conditions and higher yields, potentially creating more pressure on risk assets such as crypto.
But here's the interesting part:
The market had already been expecting the 25 basis point hike, so traders are now looking beyond the decision itself.
THE BIGGER QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Will the Fed actually deliver another hike?
Or could changing economic conditions force policymakers to pause?
For Bitcoin, the next major macro catalyst may not be yesterday's rate hike it could be whether that second hike actually happens. ๐๐
๐ฆ Fed rate: 3.75%โ4.00%
๐ 2026 outlook: 16/18 policymakers see another hike
โฟ BTC: ~$76K
What do you think another hike or a pause? ๐
