TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin posted modest daily gains and traded near $76,500 as US stocks rebounded following the Federal Reserve’s first interest-rate hike since July 2023. The move marks the Fed’s return to tightening after a pause, with crypto tracking the broader risk-asset recovery.
Bitcoin edges up near $76.5K as US stocks rebound after Fed rate hike
The notable detail is not the modest bitcoin gain but the direction of correlation: crypto is trading as a risk asset alongside equities rather than as an independent macro hedge, which is what a tightening Fed cycle tends to expose. The Fed's return to hiking after a pause resets the rate backdrop for every levered position in the sector, so the durability of this rebound matters more than its size. Whether bitcoin keeps pace with the equity recovery, or decouples once rate expectations settle, is the open question.
