Bitcoin Range-Bounds Near $64,600 Amid Fed, Iran Tensions

Bitcoin traded near $64,600 on July 30, 2026, after briefly dipping to $62,383 in response to the Federal Reserve's rate decision. The central bank kept its benchmark rate at 3.50%-3.75%, with a 9-3 vote confirming this decision.

The hawkish tone from the Fed, combined with renewed US-Iran fighting and another delay on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, all weighed against a sustained move above nearby resistance for Bitcoin.

Crude oil prices remained elevated at over $84 after surging 6.6% in the prior session, raising concerns about Persian Gulf energy supplies and Red Sea shipping. This increase kept inflation expectations high and reduced the appeal of speculative assets broadly.
