FOMC Minutes Signal Inflation Caution for Bitcoin Market
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes from July highlighted concerns about inflation, which may impact Bitcoin. Three officials dissented in favor of a 25 basis point hike, citing elevated stock valuations and AI-related repricing risk.
They also noted high hedge-fund leverage and short-term funding reliance. The FOMC's cautionary tone has led some to speculate about potential pressure on risk assets if conditions tighten further.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is currently testing its upper Bollinger resistance at $67454.71, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI(14)) signals overbought conditions. This may lead to a healthy retracement to EMA50 support at $64243.68 before any continuation.
The MACD golden cross at 849.85 indicates a bullish trend, but the overall market sentiment remains cautious due to inflation concerns.
