[Analyst: Bitcoin and Gold Diverge After Fed Decision, Market Shifts to Risk-Off Mode] CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated in a post that the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive time, but the dot plot leaned hawkish, prompting market volatility. Bitcoin dropped approximately 4% from its recent high near $66,400 to $63,870, with trading volume significantly increasing, indicating an aggressive sell-off rather than a calm pullback. Moreover, there are no signs of dip-buying after the decline. Gold also fell to the $4,220 region but quickly rebounded above $4,300, reflecting sustained demand for defensive assets. The core of this reaction lies in the divergence in asset performance: gold quickly recovered after absorbing the shock, while Bitcoin remains near its lows with no buying interest. The analyst pointed out that Bitcoin, as a pure risk asset, fully absorbed the Fed's hawkish signals.
