Bitcoin Holds Ground as Fed Speakers Take Center Stage

Crypto markets are starting the week on a firm footing, with Bitcoin hovering near $84,000 after last week's Federal Reserve rate increase. The move initially triggered volatility across digital assets, but Bitcoin managed to recover alongside the wider crypto market.

With no new rate decision scheduled this week, investors are shifting their attention to economic reports, central bank commentary, and major geopolitical developments. At least eight Federal Reserve speakers will appear in the coming days, giving markets opportunities to assess how officials view last week's 25-basis-point rate increase.

For Bitcoin traders, these appearances will be closely watched for signals about whether the latest hike was an isolated response to inflation pressures or part of a longer tightening path. Recent projections from the central bank point to the possibility of another increase later in 2026.
