Direct answer
The Motley Fool's Crypto Market Today reported that Bitcoin rose 5.5% to $81,491.82 on September 3 after Fed Governor Christopher Waller signaled support for maintaining the current policy rate stance. The move links short-term risk-asset rallies in crypto to adjustments in rate-path expectations rather than a discrete macro release. For portfolios sensitive to duration and dollar moves, watch DXY and Treasury yields for confirmation or reversal; a sustained Fed-on-hold narrative can compress term premia and re-rate duration-sensitive assets. — bullish pressure on TLT. — bullish pressure on TLT. — bullish pressure on TLT. — bullish pressure on TLT.
