Fed Rate Hike Sends Bitcoin Soaring Above $78K as Remittix Nears Next Pricing Stage
The Federal Reserve raised its target range by 0.25 percentage points to 3.75%-4% on September 16, 2026, citing elevated inflation as the reason. Despite this, Bitcoin rebounded above $78,000 after reaching an intraday low near $76,000.
The central bank's decision has increased borrowing costs and the relative appeal of cash-like assets, which can pressure Bitcoin and altcoins. However, a sustained move above $80,000 could bring $82,000 into focus, with a daily close above this level strengthening the case that buyers have absorbed the rate-hike shock.
In contrast to Bitcoin's macro-sensitive price action, Remittix is progressing through its fixed-price sale, with its official dashboard displaying RTX at $0.21 and $0.23 as the next stage. This means that while the broader market may be affected by the Fed's decision, Remittix's presale pricing remains relatively insulated.
