🚨 The Fed Signals Rate Hike, Bitcoin Faces Major Test
🏦 The Fed is becoming more "hawkish"

* He proposes removing language implying that the Fed's next move will be a rate cut.
📈 Some Fed members publicly mention raising interest rates
* Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan warns that rates may need to rise further this year to control inflation.
* Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack says if current trends continue, the Fed may need to act soon.
💼 Economic data supports a hawkish stance
* The latest jobs report beats expectations for the third consecutive time.
* Inflation remains around 3.8%, significantly above the Fed's 2% target.
* The market is beginning to price in the possibility of an earlier rate hike by the Fed.
📅 June 11 and June 17 are two key milestones
* June 11: Release of the new US CPI data.
* June 17: Fed monetary policy meeting.
* Higher-than-expected CPI could reinforce the likelihood of the Fed shifting to a rate hike stance.
How will this affect Bitcoin?

* Increase the appeal of bonds and cash.
* A stronger US dollar puts pressure on risk assets.
* Market liquidity declines.
* Borrowing costs increase.
📉 Bitcoin has reacted negatively
