The FOMC Meeting Approaches: Neutral Outlook vs Optimistic Sentiment

The forthcoming FOMC meeting is regarded by Swissblock as one of this year’s most significant macroeconomic events. While the S&P 500 index continues to reach record highs, Bitcoin appears to be decoupling from traditional equities.

There are too many overly optimistic predictions ahead of tomorrow’s FOMC meeting.

A likely scenario points towards mid-term increases but with heightened volatility as market expectations adjust for a more neutral Federal Reserve.

The base case suggests a cut of 25 basis points; however, guidance may remain neutral rather than adopting an excessively dovish stance that many anticipate. https://t.co/Z90PpFyKcQ

Swissblock cautioned about potential “sell-the-news” reactions but noted that it’s improbable for BTC to enter a bearish phase.

The prevailing expectation leans towards sustained upward movement accompanied by increased volatility as markets recalibrate following a potential rate cut of 25 basis points alongside neutral guidance instead of the overly dovish outlook currently factored in.

$116,000 Resistance Level: A Crucial Breakout Point

An analysis from Bitfinex highlighted that reclaiming the $116,000 resistance level is essential for Bitcoin before it can continue its upward trajectory effectively.

After hitting its peak at $124,100 in August, momentum has waned significantly; numerous recent investors find themselves at losses within the range between $108,000 and $116,000.

A successful breakout above this resistance could reignite bullish sentiment and validate Mags’ Fibonacci-based projection targeting $155,600. Until then though,$116k remains an upper limit restricting further gains.
