Bitcoin Faces Uncertainty Ahead of FOMC Meeting, Will It Rally?

Market Drop Ahead of FOMC Meeting

The market's sharp drop ahead of the FOMC meeting raises suspicions of manipulation. With the Fed expected to keep rates steady at 4.25%-4.5%, the CME FedWatch Tool shows a 97.3% probability of no change. However, if the Federal Reserve signals a dovish stance tomorrow, $BTC could see a significant rally.

Investors' Anticipation of Looser Monetary Policy

Investors are betting on the possibility of looser monetary policy, and if that’s the signal the Fed sends, crypto markets might respond positively. It’s a high-stakes moment, as traders closely watch for any clues on future rate hikes or cuts.

Bitcoin's Market Structure and Potential Breakout

As per Rekt Capital, Bitcoin is currently forming an early-stage Higher Low while simultaneously experiencing short-term Lower Highs, creating a pennant-like market structure.

What’s Next For Bitcoin?

The four-hour Bitcoin price chart reveals that $103K is a crucial level to watch. Whether Bitcoin experiences a rejection or a bounce here will indicate its next move.

If BTC breaks above the descending trendline resistance, confirming a breakout, the next target will be $107,000. Should a 4-hour candle close above this level, the current all-time high of $110K will become the key resistance level.

On the other hand, if Bitcoin fails to close above $103K, it could dip to the $100K to $98K range, where sidelined buyers might step in to accumulate. However, if selling pressure intensifies, Bitcoin could revisit the lower range around $92K.

However, In the last 24 hours, 132,959 traders were liquidated, totaling $291.68 million in liquidations. The largest single liquidation occurred on Binance with a BTCUSD_PERP order valued at $15.17M
