Bitcoin Holds $76K as Post-FOMC Volatility Spikes Amid Oil Surge to $126

Bitcoin trades around $76,000, clinging to key support after post-FOMC volatility spiked, with the Fed holding rates at 3.5%-3.75% in an 8-4 hawkish vote and Brent crude jumping 7.1% to $126.41 on US-Iran tensions. The rally began April 22 with peaks near $79,500 driven by MicroStrategy's $2.54B BTC buy, $1B+ ETF inflows, and the Las Vegas Bitcoin 2026 conference through April 27. Pullbacks followed $342M liquidations on April 28, dips below $75K, and $75M more long wipes, leaving volatility high ahead of GDP and PCE data.
