Bitcoin Climbs to $105,000 Following Federal Reserve Rate Pause
The Fed’s decision to hold interest rates steady has buoyed Bitcoin, while market sentiment remains cautious about inflation and regulatory developments.
- Bitcoin rebounded to $105,000 after the Federal Reserve paused its interest rate cuts, maintaining the benchmark rate at 4.25%-4.50%.
- The global cryptocurrency market capitalization grew to $3.57 trillion, with Ethereum gaining 3.95% and Dogecoin trading flat.
- Market analysts note that a break below $97,877 could jeopardize Bitcoin's bull run, though institutional accumulation is expected to drive long-term growth.
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that U.S. banks can serve crypto clients if they manage risks, while calling for clearer regulations from Congress.
- President Trump has criticized the Fed's handling of inflation and pushed for sharper rate cuts, which some believe could further fuel Bitcoin's rise.
