Bitcoin has rallied roughly 7% in June on the back of strong momentum buying and continues to target higher valuations. The cryptocurrency has registered the breakout that we all have been waiting for, and that may cause immense trouble to the short-sellers. However, one interesting observation is that Bitcoin humbled the extreme selling pressure on the eve of US Fed’s meeting which is expected to dole out important clues regarding the timing of the much-anticipated interest rate hike.

Why Does Interest Rate Concern Bitcoin?

Interest rates concern all aspects of the economy, including the cryptocurrencies. The interest rates in US have been kept at record lows, to spur the investment cycle and kickstart growth. Low interest rate is generally viewed as an effort by the central bank to infuse more liquidity into the system, and therefore US dollar remained under pressure until the Fed finally announced the end of massive QE program in October last year. Since then, the US Dollar Index has been surging to exorbitant levels pricing in an interest rate hike announcement. When the Fed postpones the hike, dollar weakens versus other major currencies (see the chart below).

Similarly, investors could be pricing in another “no-action” meeting and, therefore, US dollar is failing to strengthen against other currencies. This significant aspect of US dollar action could be fueling a steady rise in the Bitcoin value.

By the time, the two-day Fed meeting to start from tomorrow concludes, Bitcoin may have advanced significantly more following the same principle. However, if Fed Chair Janet Yellen decides to surprise the market with a rate hike, US dollar may appreciate strongly against other currencies, including Bitcoin.

This is not to say that US Fed meeting is the only trigger for the rally; there may be other positive developments as well! But it would be interesting to watch how Bitcoin performs post the meeting.

    Interesting article. Another point worth noting is that even a rate-hike might only be a head fake and could imply a temporary rally for the US dollar. The higher the interest rate, the higher the payments on our national debt gets. We’re already close to the most indebted nation in the history of the world. If we raise rates, how long will it be before they are forced to quickly go the other direction and print more dollars?

      Thank youJared for sharing your thoughts!
      I do agree that a rate-hike may be a temporary phenomenon for the US dollar – it’s because I think that the market may have already priced in that. However, I think only time (not even Janet Yellen will be comfortable to comment on this) will tell if and when the next round of QE comes.

      I am sure nobody can tell exactly when we are going to see another round of QE … so let’s wait and watch! But yes, debt burden must be taken care of, anyhow, somehow!
