Bitcoin climbs after U.S. Feds announce rate rise

Published

on

Bitcoin has reached new heights climbing by 6 per cent on Wednesday

This is the biggest price hike in about 20 years and came after the Federal Reserve raised rates by half a point.

The price of the cryptocurrency grew just before the Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell says “A 75-basis-point increase is not something that the committee is actively considering” but there are expectations of inflation “flattening out”.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.


Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
