🚨 FOMC Update – What Just Happened
The Fed just raised US interest rates by 0.25%, moving the range to 3.75%–4.00%. This is the Fed's first hike since 2023.
Why it matters for crypto: Higher rates = borrowing money costs more = less cheap money flowing into risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. That's usually short-term bearish pressure.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh just spoke after the decision. Key things the market is watching:
🔹 "Further tightening" → more hikes possible (bearish)
🔹 "Data dependent" → no fixed plan yet (neutral)
🔹 "No preset path" → hikes aren't guaranteed (bullish signal)
Watch these 3 things right now:
📉 US 10-year yield
💵 Dollar Index (DXY)
₿ Bitcoin price action
If yields + DXY fall while BTC rises → market is reading this as dovish (good for crypto).
If yields + DXY rise → market is reading this as hawkish (bad for crypto).
Stay sharp. 📊
