Research: In the scenario of the Federal Reserve "pausing and then resuming interest rate hikes," Bitcoin has dropped 7 times within 30 days after the interest rate hikes

According to Bitcoin News citing research from Crypto Briefing, since 2016, whenever the Federal Reserve paused interest rate hikes and then resumed them, Bitcoin has recorded a decline within 30 days after the rate hike, with a median drop of 2.4%. We are currently in this situation: the Federal Reserve paused after raising rates in September and is expected to raise rates again soon.

The research points out that the most similar historical case was in 2018, when Bitcoin fell by 42% during the period from the midterm elections to the rate hike in December. Although the sample size is only 7 instances, the current record stands at 0 wins and 7 losses.
