Sentiment Towards Bitcoin Warming as Odds of September Hike Ease — Market Talk

The odds of an interest rate hike coming in September are shrinking, with the CME's FedWatch now assessing at 64% chance of rates staying the same after the Federal Reserve's meeting next month. This is expected to be beneficial for assets like bitcoin, says Stephen Coltman of 21shares. "Today's number will only reinforce that trend of a weaker dollar, a steeper yield curve, and a rally in assets such as gold and bitcoin," says Coltman in a note. Bitcoin is up 0.5% following the July CPI report, which showed inflation growing 3.4% year-over-year, matching the WSJ consensus. Ethereum is up 1.4%, solana rises 0.6%, and Hyperliquid climbs 3.2%.
