Bitcoin Price Prediction: Will Today’s Fed Decision Lift BTC Above $80K?

Bitcoin price is trading near $77,000 ahead of today’s Federal Reserve decision after another attempt to reclaim $80K lost momentum. Rising Treasury yields, a stronger dollar and expectations for tighter monetary policy have kept pressure on risk assets, while BTC remains below the upper end of its recent range. The Fed decision now provides the market’s next major catalyst, with the rate move and forward guidance likely to determine whether Bitcoin can recover toward $80K or extend its decline toward lower support.

Fed Meeting Today Set the Stage for Bitcoin’s Next Move

The broader crypto and stock market are heavily positioned for a 25-basis-point rate hike today, making the accompanying policy guidance particularly important for Bitcoin. If the Fed raises rates by 25 basis points and signals further tightening, higher yields and a stronger dollar could weigh on BTC. Bitcoin would face greater pressure to defend the $76K–$77K area as traders reassess the cost of holding risk assets.

If the Fed hikes but signals a slower path for additional increases, the reaction could be more supportive for Bitcoin. Because a hike is already widely expected, softer forward guidance could reduce pressure from bond yields and allow BTC to recover toward $80K.
