TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin climbed about 4% to reclaim $80,000, with major tokens also gaining, after Fed Governor Christopher Waller signaled he could support holding rates steady this month. Traders responded by cutting September rate-hike odds to a coin flip.
Bitcoin Tops $80K as Fed Rate-Cut Odds Rise on Waller Remarks
The market's immediate reaction to Waller's remarks underscores how sensitive digital assets remain to Fed policy signaling, even as macro narratives shift. The move suggests traders are pricing in a more accommodative path, which could support risk-on flows if sustained. The key question is whether this repricing holds beyond the initial impulse, especially given the coin-flip odds indicate lingering uncertainty. Watch whether other Fed speakers echo Waller's tone, as that would solidify the market's read on near-term policy.
