Updated: 2h ago- Bitcoin Price Surge: Bitcoin has risen over 2% in the past 24 hours, surpassing the $90,000 mark, indicating strong market performance in 2025 and early 2026, which is attracting increased institutional investor interest.
- Increased Market Confidence: Traders on Polymarket show over 99% confidence that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged in today's policy meeting, which is typically seen as beneficial for Bitcoin due to improved liquidity conditions that may further drive its price upward.
- Macro Economic Stress Signals: Despite market confidence in the Fed's decision, analyst Arthur Hayes warns that underlying stress fractures in the global financial system, particularly regarding Japan's financial structure, could impact the stability of U.S. Treasuries.
- Liquidity Pipeline Formation: Hayes suggests that the Fed may intervene quietly through a “printing” mechanism to stabilize the yen and lower Japanese bond yields, a strategy that could provide new liquidity for risk assets, further propelling Bitcoin prices.
