Bitunix: Fed pause won't rescue Bitcoin as economists expect December hike

  • —94 of 100 Reuters economists expect the Fed to hold at 3.75%–4.00% in October
  • —All 100 forecast a December hike, with nearly 60% seeing 4.00%–4.25%
  • —Iran refuses talks until Washington meets seven conditions, keeping oil risks alive
  • —Bitcoin trades near $84,000, up about 2% over the past 24 hours
Why it matters: Rising oil, further Fed tightening and AI-investment risks could together force a broad repricing of risk assets, crypto included.
