The Federal Reserve, under Kevin Warsh's first meeting, kept interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% but raised the 2026 median rate projection to 3.8%, signaling a tighter policy outlook. Bitcoin traded around $65,000 during this period, a key level influenced by macro factors like real yields, dollar strength, and ETF flows. Recent $4.4 billion outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs add supply pressure, making market moves cautious. Investors should watch rate expectations, ETF flows, and funding costs closely, as these will determine if Bitcoin can hold or break the $65K level amid evolving monetary conditions.
