Bitget Analysis: Gold and Bitcoin Resilience Amid US Interest Rate Hikes
Despite a recent 0.25% interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve, Bitcoin and gold prices remain stable, according to Bitget.
On September 18, 2026, Gracy Chen, Managing Director of the cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, provided insights into current market trends. Following the US Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates by 0.25%—the first such increase in three years—and signals of further hikes this year, market analysts observed that Bitcoin has maintained a support level above $75,000.
According to Khaosod Online, Bitget suggests that the market has already absorbed these negative factors. The resilience of Bitcoin and gold is attributed to a broader trend of investors reducing their holdings of the US dollar. Furthermore, the failure of the CLARITY Act to pass in the US Senate has not deterred market confidence in digital assets.
For residents and investors in Thailand, this analysis highlights the ongoing volatility in global financial markets and the shifting sentiment toward alternative assets like gold and cryptocurrency. While the market appears to have priced in the current interest rate environment, the long-term impact of US regulatory shifts remains to be seen. Investors should note that these observations are based on market analysis from Bitget and do not constitute financial advice. Future developments regarding US regulatory policies and their subsequent impact on global asset prices remain a key factor to monitor.
