Bitcoin might not benefit much from the Federal Reserve's expected rate pause in October, as economists widely predict another rate hike in December. Rising oil prices driven by geopolitical tensions, particularly the standoff with Iran, and ongoing restrictive monetary policies could increase financing costs and reduce risk appetite, weighing on Bitcoin's price. Additionally, proposed U.S. fiscal support and mixed equity market signals add uncertainty. Bitcoin recently rose to around $84,000 but faces risks from energy costs, rate expectations, and investment shifts in AI that could trigger broader market repricing.
