Bitcoin price has bounced sharply as traders appear to have moved past the Federal Reserve’s latest rate decision. After heavy selling earlier in the week, the daily chart shows Bitcoin recovering from the $75,000–$76,000 area to around $80,770, with the latest move marked at roughly 8.04%.

Bitcoin Price Recovers After Macro Pressure

The rebound followed the Fed’s widely anticipated September 17 rate increase, which had already been priced into markets. Once the decision arrived, the uncertainty hanging over traders eased, allowing risk-on positioning to return.

The earlier pressure wasn’t limited to monetary policy. The sudden failure of the crypto-focused CLARITY Act in the U.S. Senate added another layer of uncertainty, pushing the broader market lower. Still, the market didn’t stay defensive for long.

Chart Shows Bitcoin Regaining Key Levels

The supplied chart shows Bitcoin price recovering above the $77,214 level and pushing toward $80,770. The move has also carried price above the nearby moving-average levels around $73,949 and $73,195.

That leaves the recent low near $75,000 as an important reference from the current setup, while the broader chart still shows a much lower support level around $60,731.
