Bitcoin holds $76,000 following Fed rate hike despite warning signals

Bitcoin reclaimed the $76,000 level on Sept. 16 after an intraday dip to $75,064.82 following the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%. While the market had largely priced in the hike, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled that financial conditions remain loose and 16 of 18 policymakers expect at least one more rate increase this year. Analysts suggest that the focus should remain on Treasury yields and long-term restrictive liquidity conditions rather than the individual rate decision.
