The US Federal Reserve (Fed) opted to keep key interest rates at 4.25% to 4.5% following its recent meeting, leaving Bitcoin’s price to momentarily dip. While the decision wasn’t a surprise, analysts anticipate minimal impact on BTC prices in the coming days. Today’s announcement reflects the Fed’s aim for 2% long-term inflation and echoes past results. The Fed intends to maintain its target federal funds rate range at 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent in pursuit of these goals alongside maximizing employment. Despite some market expectations for a rate reduction following President Trump’s warnings to Fed Chair Powell, the decision remained unchanged. While this move followed market forecasts, Bitcoin’s price did drop shortly after the announcement, falling from over $96,800 to below $96,000. It has recovered nearly half its losses as of press time, but still trades about a thousand dollars lower than its peak earlier today at around $97,600.
