📉 FOMC Countdown: Bitcoin at a Crossroads 🕰️
Just hours before the June 18 FOMC decision—and markets are already jittery.
• BTC trading around $106,500–$107,000 stalled below key resistance as traders await Fed clarity.
• Realized volatility rose ~2% in the last 24 hrs; historical data shows FOMC days often trigger sharp intraday swings .
• Support zones sit near $104K–$105K; resistance remains firm around $107K–$112K .
🔎 What this tells us:
With the CME FedWatch Tool pricing in a likely rate hold (4.25–4.50%), even the chance of a “hawkish pause” or a pivot in liquidity tools could swing BTC hard, fast .
⸻
Your move?
🔸 Take off some exposure near the ~$107K range.
🔸 Or set tight stop‑losses—just in case the FOMC shifts sentiment.
🔸 Want to preserve gains? Consider partial rebalancing into fiat or low‑vol assets till post‑Fed clarity.

⚠️ Tip: FOMC days have historically led to realized variance spikes—meaning fast price gushes in either direction. Holding everything through may be riskier than scaling out now.
