Despite the Federal Reserve’s recent “hawkish tone,” technical analyst CryptoCon remains confident in Bitcoin’s bullish trajectory. According to CryptoCon, Bitcoin is on track to surge almost 25% beyond its all-time high of $73,679, aiming for a target of $91,539 before ultimately reaching a cycle peak of $123,832. 
CryptoCon detailed this outlook in a June 12 post on X, shortly after the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/monetary20240612a1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fed released its meeting minutes</a>, which revealed <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/13/fed-holds-rates-steady-expects-only-one-cut-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to maintain the interest rate</a> and cut back on expected rate reductions this year.

Despite these developments, CryptoCon’s prediction, based on the “Magic Bands” model, remains steadfast. This model analyzes Bitcoin’s historical price cycles, breaking them into levels based on previous peaks and troughs to forecast future prices. 
Bitcoin is currently navigating level 2.5, and once it moves past this consolidation phase, CryptoCon anticipates it will advance to level 3 at $91,539, followed by the ultimate target of $123,832. 
An increase to $91,539 represents a 34% jump from Bitcoin’s current price of $68,315, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">as per CoinMarketCap data</a>. CryptoCon emphasized the inevitability of reaching this level despite the Fed’s stance.&nbsp; 
Typically, a hawkish Fed, aiming to curb inflation by limiting interest rate cuts, would dampen enthusiasm for riskier assets like Bitcoin. However, lower interest rates generally make traditional lower-risk investments like bonds less appealing, driving investors towards higher-risk assets like Bitcoin.

 FOMC decides to leave interest rates unchanged! Highly expected, but the hawkish tone of the FOMC isn’t positive.

Other market watchers shared mixed views on the Fed’s influence. MN Trading Consultancy founder Michaël van de Poppe noted that “the hawkish tone of the FOMC isn’t positive” and could negatively impact Bitcoin, citing Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s market-influencing remarks.

Independent analyst <a href="https://x.com/tedtalksmacro/status/1801004887557157049" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ted Talks Macro agreed</a>, highlighting the unexpected hawkishness of the FOMC’s recent communication. 
On the other hand, Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, suggests the FOMC’s expectations might be overly ambitious. He believes the Fed may need to revise its stance later in the year as inflation figures stabilize. Thielen pointed out that while the FOMC anticipates only one rate cut, market predictions are leaning towards two cuts, down from six expected at the year’s start. 
Bitcoin’s recent surge appears unsustainable in light of the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance. Higher interest rates typically reduce liquidity, leading to decreased investment in high-risk assets like Bitcoin. Current enthusiasm might be short-lived, with potential downward corrections ahead. Could Bitcoin’s price trajectory be overestimated given the Fed’s firm approach to interest rates and inflation control?
