Bitcoin Volatility Follows Fed Rate Hike; Analysts Divided on Future Outlook

Bitcoin experienced volatility following the Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point interest rate hike, which raised the target range to 3.75%-4%. While the move was anticipated, Bitcoin briefly dipped below $75,000 before recovering. Analysts remain split on the market's direction, with some dismissing bearish sentiment while others prepare for potential further sell-offs. The market is now focused on whether this hike signals the beginning of a new tightening cycle, as projections suggest at least one more increase in 2026.
