Bitcoin bounces after Fed holds rates; next target $67,000
Bitcoin is bouncing in the short term after the Fed left interest rates unchanged, which is good news for stocks and crypto alike.
- The Fed held rates steady, and the roughly third of traders who bet on a hike had to reposition, acting like a mini rate cut.
- Stocks are bouncing toward record highs, and crypto usually follows, so Bitcoin is expected to keep drifting up.
- A big bullish divergence is active on both the weekly and daily Bitcoin charts, the strongest such signal since the 2022 bottom.
- Ethereum is holding a double-bottom breakout, with a large long position still open on it.
- XRP should slightly lag Bitcoin, while Solana and Chainlink also show bullish divergences pointing to relief or choppy sideways action.
Outlook: More of a grinding bounce is expected over the coming days or weeks, with heavy resistance near $67,000 unless bad earnings drag stocks and crypto back down.
