Bitcoin spiked to $96,800 after news that the U.S. and China will resume trade talks this week, igniting a rapid $1,700 rally. The announcement improved investor sentiment across the crypto market, lifting altcoins like XRP, Cardano, and Dogecoin.
With the trade war cooling down, attention now shifts to the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision — a key macro event that could determine Bitcoin’s short-term direction.
But is Bitcoin following macro cues, or is something deeper at play?

Bitcoin’s rally past $96.8K may just be the beginning. With global easing tensions and the FOMC meeting on the horizon, volatility is expected. But if analysts are right, the long-term bull cycle remains intact — and $100K may come sooner than expected.
Yes, the Fed’s interest rate stance may impact short-term BTC moves by influencing market risk sentiment.
