๐ฅ The Bill Failed. The Fed Hiked. $BTC Ripped 6% Anyway Two reasons to sell hit in three days. Bitcoin ripped higher instead. On Tuesday, the CLARITY Act died in the Senate, 49-50, dragging BTC below $75,000 on the news. On Wednesday, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2023, lifting rates to 3.75%-4.00%. Both were textbook reasons for crypto to keep falling. By Friday, neither had landed. Buried in the Fed's own dot plot was the real signal: a median rate projection of just 4.1% through the end of 2027, implying one more hike at most, not a sustained tightening cycle. Traders positioned for something harsher got caught wrong-footed. Bitcoin opened the session at $76,355 and tore through $80,000 within hours, tagging an intraday high of $80,857, up 5.88% on the day. More than $230 million in $BTC shorts were liquidated in the move, over $445 million across the crypto market. Every forced buyback pushed the price higher and fed the next one. Bitcoin is still down roughly 13% for the year. But the two catalysts everyone feared both landed bearish, and the market ran straight through them. When bad news stops working, that's the signal itself. #BTC Price Analysis# #Macro Insights# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?#
