Crypto Resilience After Hawkish Fed Hike Signals Shifting Sentiment

The Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis points to a 3.75–4.00% target range today in a unanimous decision, and the updated projections leaned hawkish — stronger growth, lower unemployment, and stubborn inflation through 2026. The dot plot points to at least one more hike this year, with the first projected rate decline not arriving until 2028. Longer-run neutral rate estimates continue drifting higher.
