Fed Hikes Rates for First Time Since 2023, Bitcoin Spikes

The notable signal here is the market's reaction, not the hike itself: a move that was almost universally anticipated still produced an immediate Bitcoin uptick, suggesting positioning and liquidity, rather than the policy surprise, drove the move. That disconnect matters for traders who treat macro events as directional cues. Whether Bitcoin holds those gains once the initial reaction fades is the open question.
