Why Bitcoin Holds Above $64,000 After Fed's Hard Pause
**Bitcoin Stabilizes Near $64,000 Following Hawkish Fed Pause**
The cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin, remained stable around $64,000 despite a volatile reaction to the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting. The Fed paused interest rates but signaled a hawkish stance, with three committee members voting for an increase—the highest dissent since 2016. This limits risk appetite but hasn't triggered panic selling.
Key market highlights include Bitcoin ETFs seeing a net inflow of $32.1 million, breaking a streak of outflows, while Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows of $18.65 million. Liquidations affected about 90,000 traders.
Technically, Bitcoin finds support around $63,000-$63,500, with major resistance near $66,000. While its price is about 49% below its all-time high, institutional demand via ETFs and the absence of mass capitulation support a potential recovery scenario in the second half of the year.
Major altcoins showed mixed movements, with Solana attracting capital while Ethereum faced selling pressure despite strong on-chain metrics like a growing staking queue. Regulatory news took a pause as the U.S. Senate delayed the CLARITY Act vote until at least autumn.
For the final trading day of July, U.S. inflation and consumer spending data will be crucial. Bitcoin's key levels to watch are $63,000 support and $66,000 resistance. Sustained ETF inflows and Bitcoin holding above $63,000 are seen as positive signs for a potential market recovery later in the year.
