However, concerns remain that future rate hikes could still be on the table later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This meeting marked Warsh\u2019s first policy decision since taking over leadership of the Fed. The outcome was largely seen as a non event by analysts, including David Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings, who noted that while the decision itself carried little surprise, Warsh now has meaningful influence over the Fed\u2019s future direction after years of vocal criticism of its policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investor sentiment ahead of the meeting was divided. A Bank of America fund manager survey showed that 55 percent of respondents expected Warsh to adopt a hawkish stance during his press conference. However, US economist Stephen Juneau disagreed, arguing instead that Warsh would likely take a more dovish tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin saw choppy trading in the hours leading up to the announcement. The asset briefly dropped below $65,000 before rebounding to around $66,400. However, it quickly reversed lower, falling by more than $1,000 shortly after the Fed confirmed that rates would remain unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous analysis from crypto market observers suggested that this first FOMC meeting under Warsh, along with his initial press conference, could represent one of the most significant macroeconomic events for the digital asset market this year.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin came under pressure after the Federal Reserve, now led by new Chair Kevin Warsh, decided to keep interest rates unchanged at its latest Federal Open&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3980"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3982,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3980\/revisions\/3982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
