Bitcoin is trading below $80,000 as investors react to the Federal Reserve's recent rate hike and a stalled crypto regulatory bill in the Senate. The Fed raised interest rates to 3.75%-4% and projected higher rates through 2026 and 2027, which could strengthen the U.S. dollar and bond yields, limiting bitcoin's price gains.

Analysts say these factors create near-term challenges for bitcoin, with altcoins facing even more pressure.
