Bitcoin lacks direction; September FOMC remains variable despite oil price relief

Bitcoin is holding in a range near $64,000, with fears over a sharp rise in oil prices largely easing. Analysts say a clear directional move may be hard before late in the third quarter because the inflation impact of energy shocks is reflected with a lag and could shape the Federal Reserve\'s September policy meeting. Oil futures suggest supply concerns are easing, but structural factors and ETF flows may still cap any breakout.
