The Federal Reserve, chaired by Jerome Powell, has announced that it will raise interest rates in the U.S. by 75 basis points. The increase matched the market consensus, which some analysts deemed to be priced into the traditional markets.

The crypto markets have reacted positively, with Bitcoin up 3% in the moments after the data was released. Bitcoin’s price had been moving upwards earlier on Wednesday, up 3% on the day prior to the FOMC statement after declining 13% since the local high on July 20.

The price of Bitcoin has risen ahead of the last two FOMC meetings, with the price falling between 15-20% over the subsequent 3 days. However, the previous increases in January and March saw Bitcoin initially fall before rallying around 7% in the days following.
