Fed holds rates, dissent may signal further hikes, dollar and crypto implications

The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged in the 3.75%–4% range, but dissent from three or more FOMC members favoring a hike would signal urgency to tighten policy. With 10-year Treasury yields at 5% and oil near $100, Chair Kevin Warsh's comments on inflation and financial conditions could influence rate expectations. Bitcoin is trading around $81,411, up over 2% in 24 hours, while the Dollar Index may strengthen.
