These things take time.
So far this year, #bitcoin has dumped after every FOMC meeting — mainly to flush out overleveraged longs and trigger liquidation cascades.
Those first moves right after FOMC are usually just liquidity traps, not signals of the true trend. I wouldn't put too much weight on them.
The real move for the market is likely to show up in the next 1–2 weeks, and that's what will matter going into 2026.
• Trend: still intact
• Thesis: still valid
• Key condition: Bitcoin should not break the lows
• Confirmation: $BTC needs to break $92K to open a fresh test of $100K
In short: ignore the FOMC noise, focus on the next 1–2 weeks.
If $BTC holds the lows and reclaims $92K… will you be ready for a $100K test, or will you stand aside and watch the market continue its upward trend? 🚀

MARKET SHOCK: $BTC briefly dropped below $90,000 as AI profit fears and a tech selloff hit Nasdaq and risk assets hard. Weak forecasts from AI-linked names sparked rotation out of growth bets, and crypto didn't escape the contagion. Bounce attempts are underway, but macro risk sentiment is the driver today.
Context in a Nutshell
Bitcoin briefly fell below $90,000 as broader market jitters resurfaced around the tech sector's ability to turn AI investments into profits. Weak forecasts from major players like Oracle reignited skepticism about AI-driven growth, prompting selling across tech stocks and dragging risk assets lower, including crypto. Even a recent Federal Reserve rate cut failed to anchor optimism, leaving traders in risk-off mode.
What You Should Know (Fast Facts)
Bitcoin briefly fell below $90,000, with risk assets broadly declining amid renewed tech selling and AI profitability concerns.Weak earnings and profit outlooks from major AI-linked tech companies, notably Oracle, reignited fears that AI hype may be overextended, dragging down the Nasdaq and broader risk sentiment.Crypto stocks and Bitcoin-related equities also slid alongside BTC's dip, reflecting risk-off positioning across correlated markets.Some recovery attempts saw Bitcoin bounce back to the low $90,000 area as traders digested a volatile mix of macroeconomic signals and technicals.
Why Does This Matter?
This episode highlights that crypto exposure to tech-sector sentiment and AI narratives remains strong; Bitcoin isn't trading in isolation. When confidence falters in broader equities tied to AI and future growth stories, Bitcoin's risk-asset dynamics kick in, amplifying downside movements even absent crypto-specific catalysts.
Price action now sits in a tug-of-war between macro headwinds and lingering institutional demand, where the next breakout or breakdown may be dictated as much by equity sentiment and AI storylines as by crypto fundamentals.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled that the current cycle of interest rate cuts may be coming to a halt, triggering an immediate reaction across markets. Bitcoin, which had just tapped $94,000, quickly slipped to the $92,000 range as traders recalibrated expectations.
🔹 Signals Point to a Pause
During the post-FOMC press conference, Powell noted that recent policy moves have brought the Fed “within a range of plausible estimates of neutral.”
Translation: the central bank believes policy is now balanced enough to slow down and reassess.
Analysts interpret this as a strong sign that no further rate cuts are likely before the January 2026 FOMC meeting.
Powell did acknowledge rising risks in the labor market and still-elevated inflation — but stressed that no one expects a rate hike. At most, another small cut could come sometime in 2026, after three reductions already implemented this year.
🔹 Tariffs, Inflation, and the Trump Factor
Powell also highlighted the impact of Trump-era tariffs, calling them a source of one-time price increases, rather than long-term inflation.
If no new tariffs are introduced, he expects inflation to peak as early as Q1 2026.
🔹 Markets Shift — Only 24% Expect a January Cut
Fresh CME FedWatch data shows a dramatic turn:
24% expect a 25 bps cut in January
76% expect rates to stay unchanged
Powell said the Fed should have clearer insight by mid-January, with the CPI report due January 13 and PPI on January 14 — both key drivers of the next policy move.
🔹 Will Trump Redirect the Fed?
Bloomberg Chief Economist Anna Wong still believes the Fed could cut rates by up to 100 bps in 2026 due to weak job growth and cooling inflation.
But politics could reshape the outlook: Powell’s term expires in May 2026, and if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he is expected to appoint a more dovish Fed chair.
One leading candidate, Kevin Hassett, has openly said there is “plenty of room to cut.”
🔹 Bitcoin Reacts on Cue
After touching $94,000, Bitcoin slid back to ~$92,000 following Powell’s remarks — a familiar pattern throughout 2025. FOMC meetings and Powell’s cautious tone have repeatedly triggered short-lived dips across the crypto market.
