Bitcoin Breaks Below $80K as Fed Decision Looms
BTC tests key support on geopolitical risks; ETFs see modest inflows after heavy outflows; regulatory developments continue across jurisdictions.
Bitcoin & Market Technicals
Bearish01
Bitcoin broke below the key support zone around the $80,000 level as fears of potential US strikes on Iran over the weekend weighed on the crypto market. The lack of US attacks eased the bearish momentum but did not change the bigger picture as the persistent risk of another escalation continues to limit the upside. Sellers are expected to continue targeting the $75,000 level next, while buyers will need to see the price rise back above the support to position for a rally into the $84,000 resistance.
02
The focus is now on the FOMC decision due tomorrow where the Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged and maintain the current stance. A surprise rate hike could trigger a selloff in Bitcoin on a hawkish repricing and increased concerns about growth, while a mostly neutral event could lead to a relief rally in the short-term but would not change the fundamental outlook.
03
Galaxy says now is the time to accumulate bitcoin, though specific reasoning was not detailed in available reporting.

02
Ripple received final approval to launch its own U.S. national trust bank, marking a significant milestone for the payments company's institutional banking ambitions. The approval allows Ripple to offer regulated banking services under federal oversight.
03

Alternative Narratives
Neutral01TAO
Investor Jason Calacanis said Bitcoin will never hit new highs and is backing Bittensor ($TAO) instead, noting that Bitcoin's main upgrade this year changed how the network lines up waiting payments while Bittensor's biggest milestone was Grayscale's fund adding more of its tokens. The contrarian view represents skepticism about Bitcoin's ability to surpass previous price peaks.
Looking Ahead
Neutral01

The US Employment Cost Index will be released on Friday, providing additional insight into labor market conditions that could influence Fed policy and risk asset sentiment.
