Bitcoin faces fresh pressure after Fed’s hawkish rate hold

The Federal Reserve maintained its hawkish stance on interest rates, leading analysts to predict a 78% probability of a rate hike in December. This decision has intensified scrutiny on macroeconomic indicators such as Treasury yields, the US dollar, and upcoming inflation data, all of which are expected to heavily influence Bitcoin's near-term direction. (Source) For the crypto market, this signals heightened volatility ahead. Bitcoin often reacts negatively to higher interest rates, as they increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like BTC. If yields rise and the dollar strengthens, capital could flow out of risk assets, potentially leading to further corrections in Bitcoin prices.
