Markets pivot to September Fed rate hike: Five things to know in Bitcoin this week

Markets have shifted to price a September Fed rate hike, reversing earlier expectations for a later move and tightening macro uncertainty. That repricing increased Bitcoin's sensitivity to equity and Treasury yield moves, heightening near-term volatility and downside risk for BTC as risk assets are repriced. Key implication: Bitcoin will be more reactive to upcoming CPI/PCE prints and Fed commentary, meaning traders should expect amplified price swings tied to macro developments.
