Bitcoin Shrugs Off Hawkish Fed Hold as Volatility Bets Stay Flat
- —Fed held rates at 3.75%–4%; Cook and Hammack dissented in favor of a 25 bps hike
- —BTC gained 0.33% to $81,027, ETH rose 0.35% to $2,351
- —DVOL stayed in a 37.22–37.63 range and closed at 37.58
- —December hike odds rose to 82.6% from 78.3%
Why it matters: Options markets price almost no added risk, but rising December hike odds could weigh on crypto if tightening expectations build.
