Bitcoin extended its two-day decline on Wednesday after the Fed held rates at 3½-3¾%, with BTC dropping to $74,937 below the 20-day SMA of $75,664.

Bitcoin rallied above $77,900 on Wednesday but struggled to sustain gains, with analysts divided on near-term prospects. On-chain analyst Willy Woo gives BTC only 30% odds of rising above the $79,000 cost basis of recent investors. Some analysts anticipate a breakout to new ATH and $250,000 in 2026, while others see a drop below $50,000 to as low as $30,000. Major altcoins including ETH, XRP, SOL, and DOGE risk breaking below their immediate support levels, signaling potential deeper short-term pullback.

Despite short-term caution, Strategy accumulated 145,837 BTC in 2026 and spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $3.5 billion in net inflows over two months, providing structural support at key price levels.
The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.5-3.75% citing upside inflation risks from rising global energy prices and Middle East uncertainty.

Oil prices have climbed above $110/barrel from $70 before the US-Iran conflict began February 28.

Bitcoin is up 14% this month and on track for its fourth consecutive weekly gain, trading around $76,200. The $82,000 CME gap, Magnificent Seven earnings, and the Federal Reserve's policy meeting this week represent key catalysts that could determine whether the rally continues or stalls.
