Bitcoin's key sentiment gauge, CryptoQuant's Bull Score Index, fell sharply from 80 to 30 after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%, marking the first hike since 2023. This shift signals a move from bullish to bearish sentiment amid concerns over tighter monetary policy. Bitcoin's price dropped about 4% to around $76,000, with further rate hikes expected, potentially pushing the target range to 4.25%. For a sustained bullish trend, the Bull Score Index must rise above 60 and Bitcoin's price must exceed $83,000, both currently unlikely given market conditions.
Despite the Fed's rate hike and bearish sentiment indicated by the Bull Score Index drop, Bitcoin on Pluang shows resilience with a price of Rp1.361.900.667 as of Sep 18, 2026 00:02 WIB.
