Bitcoin futures showed signs of support near $75,000 following the Federal Reserve's first rate increase since 2023, though 16 of 18 officials expect at least one more hike before year-end. CME September 2026 Bitcoin futures reached $76,465 during a late rebound, with the final completed observation at $76,200, before slipping toward an estimated $75,700-$75,750 range in the evening session. The next test for buyers is whether price can regain the area around $76,000 and hold it through another pullback, with $77,200 marking the more consequential recovery level around the lower boundary of the earlier value area.
Bitcoin corporate treasuries remained at an unrealized loss on their holdings as the price fell below $80,000 and fresh capital inflows dwindled. Corporate treasuries bought just 5.9K BTC over the past three months as paper losses lingered across the sector.
