BTC surged to $94,200 after $164M in shorts were liquidated on December 9. The market cooled slightly: Bitcoin trades around $92,564, still +2.8% on the day.

Altcoins also strengthened:

• ETH: $3,321 (+7.1%)

• DOGE: +5%

The key catalyst now is today’s FOMC meeting.

A 0.25% rate cut is fully priced in — meaning Powell’s tone is what matters:

• Dovish → BTC retests $95K–$100K

• Hawkish → risk assets weaken; BTC may drop toward $88K–$90K

According to Ruslan Lienkha (YouHodler), a “hawkish cut” is possible:

“Powell may offset the cut with a tougher message. Since the cut is priced in, a strong BTC rally is unlikely — but a hawkish tone could pressure markets.”

With ETF flows slowing and volatility rising, today’s Fed decision will determine whether Bitcoin continues toward $100K — or turns lower.
