AI take
The Fed's first hike since 2023 landing with a unanimous vote and a higher 2026 median projection signals policy is turning less accommodative, yet bitcoin's immediate round-trip suggests crypto is trading more on positioning than on macro repricing. The Zcash move alongside a fading BTC spike points to rotation into privacy assets rather than broad risk-on. The open question is whether bitcoin keeps absorbing hawkish shifts without a sustained break lower, or whether the delayed reaction to a higher-for-longer path shows up in the sessions ahead.
