Did a lot of people stay up late last night waiting for news of the Fed rate hike? I'm sure it wasn't me. Beauty sleep is much more important to me than the price of the currency. Last night it was estimated that many people in the coin circle had a hard time sleeping. After many years of the coin circle becoming more and more international, the first time they faced the Fed's interest rate hike, also as everyone expected, a 25 basis point hike, a total of 7 times this year, the bottom rate is calculated to be 1.89%, to the end of 2023, the bottom rate is 2.8%.

At 2:00 p.m. EST on the 16th and 2:00 a.m. BST on the 17th, the Fed's two-day March rate meeting ended.
The conclusion is that a 25 basis point rate hike will take effect from the 17th. The federal rate was raised from 0-0.25% to a range of 0.25-0.5%. This is the Fed's first rate hike since December 2018.

However, it may be delayed until June or July. The timing of quantitative tightening will be adjusted based on macro and geopolitical uncertainties as well as market conditions and liquidity.
Analysts believe that there is uncertainty about the direction of the Fed's monetary policy and that it could become more aggressive. Some brokers suggest continuing to reduce equity holdings in portfolios.
After the release of the Federal Reserve's rate hike signal early this morning, the rate hike was in line with the expected impact, and the stock and currency markets were screaming across the board.
