TREE NEWS reports: The Federal Reserve raised rates 25 basis points on September 16, lifting the federal funds target range to 3.75%-4.00%, with markets expecting another 75 basis points of tightening over the next six months. Bitcoin is about 40% below its roughly $126,000 high from last October, mirroring its 40% drawdown from the November 2021 peak of about $69,000 when the Fed first hiked in March 2022. After that hike, bitcoin rebounded about 18% in 12 days before falling a further 50%.

The parallel is structural, not coincidental: bitcoin's drawdowns are again tracking the start of a hiking cycle rather than any crypto-native shock, which suggests macro liquidity remains the dominant driver of its price. The 2022 episode is the cautionary reference — a sharp relief rally that faded into a much deeper decline — so the durability of any bounce, not its size, is the open question. What matters next is whether further tightening lands as expected and whether bitcoin keeps trading as a rate-sensitive risk asset.
