Bitcoin Steadies Around $82K as Fed’s Warsh Avoids Rate-Hike Hints

The signal here is less about Bitcoin's level than about what traders are pricing for Fed policy: Warsh declining to hint at a hike was enough to steady a market that had been leaning toward one, and the simultaneous recovery in South Korean tech suggests the move is being read as a broader risk-sentiment shift rather than a crypto-specific one. That makes Bitcoin's correlation to macro expectations, not its own fundamentals, the thing currently in control. Whether that rate-expectation easing holds, and whether crypto keeps trading as a proxy for it, is the open question.
