Markets had priced in the decision, though the speed of Bitcoin\u2019s reaction highlighted how traders are positioning around shifts in monetary conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are now awaiting Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s press conference later for further guidance on whether the central bank could deliver additional cuts before year-end.<\/p>\n<p>Stocks also saw volatility after the announcement, while Treasury yields edged lower as bond markets priced in looser financial conditions. Bitcoin\u2019s exaggerated moves mirrored broader risk sentiment but with sharper intraday swings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) whipsawed on Sept. 17 after the Federal Reserve confirmed a 25 basis-point interest rate cut, lowering its target range for the federal funds rate to 4% to 4.25%.
