Recall that the POTUS threatened to fire Powell if he refused to lower the rates.Still, BTC’s price slipped immediately after the Fed’s announcement went live, going from over $96,800 to under $96,000. It has recovered almost half of the losses as of press time, but still trades about a grand lower from its peak earlier today of over $97,600.BTCUSD.
