Bitcoin reportedly gained 8% in three days despite Fed and Bank of Japan rate hikes

A user claimed on September 18, 2026, that Bitcoin had gained 8% over the previous three days despite Fed and Bank of Japan rate hikes and the CLARITY Act failing to pass the U.S. Senate. In an earlier post that day, the same author also cited a stronger dollar and rising oil prices as bearish news. Comparing Bitcoin’s resilience to 2023, the author argued that absorbing bad news without breaking down often signals that a market bottom is already in.
