Bitcoin stayed near $64,500 after the Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates at 3.5% to 3.75%, even though three Fed officials favored further hikes. Investors reacted cautiously, weighing the impact of stable rates against growing fears about bond yields.
Fed Decision and Market Reaction
The Fed's pause has calmed some market anxiety, but uncertainty remains. With momentum indicators turning bullish, Bitcoin has been trading within a tight range, unable to break decisively above $64,000. The cautious optimism is partly driven by strong inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, notably BlackRock’s IBIT fund, which attracted $32.11 million. This inflow signals growing confidence from institutional investors despite broader macroeconomic concerns.
Meanwhile, other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Binance Coin also saw modest gains, reflecting a generally positive sentiment in the crypto space. However, the market’s movement remains tethered to the Fed’s future actions and the trajectory of US Treasury yields, which have been rising and causing tension across various asset classes.
